Birthday in Blue

Hello everyone! With this rainy season we're having I hope all are safe. We've had several days of rain and some areas have been flooded. More rain is on the way for a few more days. I do hope that the drought conditions in portions of the U.S. have been alleviated and, at the same time, that dry weather in Texas has aided with flood recovery. 

Today I'd like to share a birthday card that I made for a dear friend. It turned out to be such a soft and lovely card. 

My card base was  created from GKD white card stock. I added a layer of SU Mossy Meadow. Next I die cut another layer in PTI Spring Rain using a die from Spellbinders 6x6 Matting Basics B. My final layer was from GKD Floral Essentials paper pack and cut with another die from the Spellbinders 6x6 Matting Basics B die set.    

For my focal panel, I created a frame in PTI Spring Rain and cut it using a Poppy Stamps Claudette Frame die. Next, I used  a  die from Spellbinders Triple Floral die set and dry embossed the inside edges of the frame. I stamped my sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink using a stamp from GKD Always Autumn stamp set. The focal panel was then adhered to my prepared base with dimensionals.

The flower was stamped on vellum,, embossed with white EP and then cut using Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Fleur die. After assembling the flower it was attached to the focal panel. I added some Stickles to the center. The foliage was cut using Poppy Stamps Pine Sprigs and attached to the flower. My project was complete.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to make it a great day!
