I was in the mood to make a birthday card and it had to be a floral one (just in the mood for something flowery I guess!) so I flipped through all my Papertrey stamps and hit upon the Beautiful Blooms set - it's been FOREVER since I've used this set.
I already had the Birthday Basics set sitting out - so all I had left to do was decide on the colors and the layout.
Colors were easy - I went with Papertrey Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet, Spring Moss and a base of Sweet Blush.
As for the layout I scribbled down a couple of different ideas (I find that it makes cardmaking much more streamlined if I sketch a bit BEFORE instead of fiddling with a bunch of different pieces of cardstock trying to figure out what works...) and hit upon this one and liked it!
Once I had the stamps, color and layout figured out it took under 20 minutes to put this card together. I punched a Mega circle for the main image, stamped it, then stamped a separate flower and cut it out before adhering it with a dimensional. The sentiment and smaller flower were stamped then punched out with a 1 1/4" circle punch and also adhered with dimensionals.
I added a bit of Pure Poppy CS that I used my SU! Scallop punch on and spritzed the card base with red ink.
I finished the card off with some Berry Sorbet Stitched Grosgrain (I can't seem to stop using this type of ribbon lately - I reach for it ALL the time) and that was it!
