Watermelon Birthday Blossoms ~ CCMC363


Happy Thursday everyone!  It's time for a new Create with Connie and Mary challenge!  This week we have a sketch....

I was excited to use my new {Birthday Blossoms} set.  I started out by trying out several different coloring techniques and finally settled on just stamping the image right on Watermelon Wonder cardstock and using my Pansy punch to cut it out.  I also stamped the flowers again on Delightful Dijon and fussy cut out the flower center. Then I stamped the leaves on Cucumber Crush cardstock and fussy cut them as well.  I repeated that with the smaller flowers too.  
For the brick wall, I inked my brayer up with Crumb Cake ink and ran it over the raised or back side of the Brick Wall embossing folder. I carefully placed my white cardstock in and ran it through the Big Shot.  I like the look this gives!  


I popped the third flower up with two dimensionals, the second flower with one, and the first and last flowers are just glued right to the card base.  I add a Happy Birthday banner and also popped up the little duo of flowers.

Thanks for taking a peek and I hope you'll take time to join us in the challenge this week!  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!!!

  4. Love the way you created the grout in the brick wall - it reminds me of the subway tile I love so much. Those bright flowers look gorgeous against the white textured background.
