Happy birthday Roses ~ HSS307, CTC213, SSC197



 

Hello Stampers!  Today's card is for Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge #307.  It's a Valentines inspiration!  I decided to forgo the Valentine's theme, because I don't send many Valentine's, but I did happen to notice I was getting short on Birthday cards, so I made mine into birthday.  I was inspired by the pink flowers in the middle/right photo.  I'm also playing along with CASEing the Catty #213 (I cased the lower right Petal Pink card in the photo), and Sunday Stamps Challenge #197 pinks.  My pinks are Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick with a little bit of Poppy Parade and Pink Pirouette mixed in there.  

No photo description available.

First I stamped the rose image from Petal Palette twice on white cardstock.  I colored the roses with light and dard Flirty Flamingo blends and light Poppy Parade.  I colored the leaves with light and dark Pink Pirouette blends.  I cut everything out by hand, removing the roses from the leaves, so I could glue them on where I pleased.  Next I cut a Stitched circle and stamped Happy Birthday too you in Flirty Flamingo and Lovely Lipstick.  I popped the circle up on dimensionals on a panel of Flirty Flamingo that I embossed with the Tin Tile TIEF and then tucked the roses, leaves and flowers where I wanted them to be before gluing them down.  I also cut the leaf branches from Petals and More thinlits in Vellum cardstock.  
I added a bit of silver thread to mimic the wax seal element in my cased card.  I also added a few rhinestones just because I wanted a bit more sparkle. 



Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
Jenny
