Happy Birthday Vicky

It's my lovely sister in law's birthday and here is her card.


The base is Pumpkin Pie, stamped in Pumpkin pie with the tiny flower from Simply Said set.  I matted a Close to Cocoa layer and then a Summer Sun layer which was also stamped in Summer Sun with the tiny flower stamp and the Happy Birthday is from the Occasional Greetings set, stamped in Pumpkin Pie. The original card and the layers have all had their corners rounded.

The flower is made from the fab On Board Blossoms and Basics chip board set, I pressed out 5 petals and using sponge daubers I inked them, first with Summer Sun all over and then around the edges with Pumpkin Pie, I also touched the very centre tips with a little bit of Close to Cocoa.

Using a strong wet glue I attached them to the card front and then traced tiny tines along each petal and covered that with Dazzling Diamonds for a bit of bling.  Finally the centre of the flower is a large flat backed pearl and three small flat backed pearls from the pretties kit.

That looks lovely Amanda, almost fabric-like, if you know what I mean :) I am sure she loves it.
