Sometimes I overlook the little elements that are included in the stamp sets that I use. When I bought
Happy Birthday Gorgeous, I was looking at the sentiments and the terrific fonts, and didn't focus on the flowers. But as I started to play, and needed an embellishment for a card, I suddenly realized how wonderful these are...look:
I was using the
Happy Birthday thinlits dies and needed something to finish off my card. They are sweet perfection!
Tranquil Tide is the card base, with a layer of
Pool Party. The designer series paper is
Delightful Daisy--I love the shading of the paper, giving it a dimensional feel.
The thinlits were cut with Tranquil Tide and adhered to a panel of
Whisper White. But look at that cute trim along the bottom:
That's a new punch: the
Decorative Ribbon Border punch. Pretty, huh?
So back to those flowers. I needed something to dress up this card, just a little, without taking away from the die-cut words. And those little flowers were the perfect touch!
I stamped the leaves in
Lemon Lime Twist, cut one of them out, and stamped the flowers in
Powder Pink and
Berry Burst. The flowers were fussy cut (thank heavens for my
Paper Snips!), and mounted with
Dimensionals. And I finished them off with
Glitter Enamel Dots, using the Berry Burst colors.
Pretty, eh?
