A Painted Petals Birthday Card

It's snowing outside and my thoughts are leaning towards spring with all of it's pastel colors!  I'm so done with winter!

I thought I would play with the new Painted Petals set.  It's a fun set with several fun images in it.  The first time I used this image I had a lot of trouble trying to get the flowers lined up right.  This time I broke down and dug out my Stamp-a-ma-jig and tried to work with it that way.  I don't like using my Stamp-a-ma-jig with the clear blocks.  It sometimes shifts a little on me.  I'm sure if I work with it more using the clear blocks I will get better at it.  Anyway, this time I got the flowers closer to the leaves and I was much happier with how it turned out.  And I only stamped one!!!  I used Daffodil Delight to stamp the flowers.  Then I took the Hello Honey marker and colored in some dots and I highlighted the edges a little with it.  Click on the photo to see a closer view and you'll see what I'm talking about.  Doing that just defined the petals a little more.

The leaves were stamped first and I used Old Olive on them.

I used Daffodil Delight decorative paper on the background panels.  

The base of the card is a folded half sheet of Old Olive.  The layers are also Old Olive.

I used the Dotted folder for the Whisper White background panel.

The round scallop punch, 1-3/8" circle punch, and the 1-1/4" circle punch were used here.

The words were done on my computer.  I have them already punched out and sitting in an envelope for when I want to either make a quick card or can't find the right size words for the 1-1/4" circle.  You can purchase 10 different words in PDF format in my web store.  Check here for more details on the words.
