I made this really quick yesterday to give to a friend today. I've seen several examples on SCS using Circle of Friendship as the flower center - so this idea wasn't originally mine.
The color combo was a total going-by-the-seat-of-the-pants thing - I had Apricot Appeal on my mind, then wanted Pumpkin Pie. I felt it needed more color so I grabbed Cool Caribbean and Certainly Celery too - I wasn't sure if it all would work but I guess it did.
I stamped the flowers from Petal Pushers onto Whisper White CS and cut them all out. I then stamped several images w/ the birthday stamp from Circle of Friendship. The 1/2" circle punch fits *perfectly* in the middle of those stamps - so I punched out a few.
I stamped the Pumpkin Pie CS w/ Paisley (a card is never complete w/out it ya know! LOL) and faux stitched around the edges of it and the Cool Caribbean CS.
The ribbon I picked up at Michaels a long time ago - I really LOVE the color of it!
Once I got the card put together I felt it was missing something - so I pierced all the petals and leaves - it did help!
