Happy Birthday Flowers

Recently my friend Annie shared with me a card she had made.  I loved the stamps she had used and the color combo.  She bought the stamps at Tuesday Morning so I had to stop and $50 later I had bought that stamp set along with a few other things.

The sketch challenge at Paper Players this week inspired me to get a birthday card made for my great niece.  I am going to be traveling for about a month so I wanted to have all my birthday cards done for February and March.  This is my last card that I needed to get made. 

The flowers are stamped with Gina K ink and then cut out with the coordinating die.  I also stamped and colored the bee in the set because my great niece's middle name is Bea after my Mom - her great grandma.

The background of the card is embossed with a cover plate.  I got a Gemini Jr. for a late Christmas present so I have been playing with it.  I love how it embossed with your cover plates.

I did offset the sentiment from the sketch.  I wanted the stems of the flowers to show. 

I recently got a 6 x 6 pad from My Favorite Things of just black striped paper - either a straight stripe like I used on this card or a diagonal stripe. 

Thanks for stopping by.
