Birthday Flower

This birthday card is my take on a clean and simple design. I finally got my Smooch Spritz sprayer unclogged so I used it on the flourish here.

The design is based on a sketch from Card Patterns:

In addition to the Card Patterns sketch, I incorporated several other challenges into this card:

Practical Scrappers: buttons

Sentimental Sundays: flowers and sentiment

Caardvarks: monochromatic card

Flourishes: Timeless Tuesday "Bought It, Use It"

Paper Sundaes: 3 patterned papers, 2 cardstocks and 1 single flower

Creative Belli: birthday

Sisterhood of Scrap: flower

Handfull of Stamps: 2 or more patterned papers

The flower is made by using 2 designer papers with BossKut die. I didn't quite cut the details in the petals, so it adds some texture to the flower petals. This is the first time I have used this die for a project. I was excited to get the Tim Holtz Sizzix die on sale... a month ago. So it was nice to use it and not just leave it in the shopping bag!

Supplies:

Cardstock: DCWV
Paper: 3 DP from DCWV
Dies: BossKut Flower Flourish, Sizzix Tom Holtz Elegant Flourishes
Ink: Orange Colorbox pigment ink
Accessories: Button, ribbon, rub on, pop dots, corner rounder Gold Glow Smooch Spritz

Challenge Card - Lacey Happy Birthday

This is another challenge card. I usually don't use lace, but it adds femininity to a card that could otherwise be unisex.

The rub on is an adhesive rub on. These are fun because you can use glitter or foiling to make the rub on coordinate perfectly with your project. I used Martha Stewart glitter on my rub on here.

I had a little trouble getting the glitter and dimension to show up in the pictures. So here's a different view and a close up of the glittered rub on.

One of my very best friends has a birthday coming up this summer. When I started designing this card, I thought it would be perfect for her. So, I am ahead of the game... as long as I remember to mail it in time!

Supplies:
