Simply Zinnia, Days to Remember, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a quick card to share with you. Yesterday when I stamped the flower image I also stamped and die cut out a few more and put them in the stamp case for future use. I didn't think it would be this soon into the future but the set was still sitting on my worktable, no surprise there! LOL Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Highland Heather card stock and textured it using the "Exposed Brick" embossing folder. I glued that in place on the front of the card.

Then I cut a 3-1/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock. On top of that is a 3" x 4" piece of Basic White card stock that was textured using the splatter folder from the "Stipes & Splatters" embossing folder set. I glued that to the Gorgeous Grape piece and then that was glued to the Highland Heather piece.

The flowers were stamped using black Memento ink and die cut using the matching die from the "Simply Zinnia" bundle.

I colored the flowers using both light and dark Highland Heather, Bubble Bath and Flirty Flamingo Blends pens. Both light and dark Granny Apple Green on the stems and leaves. And the light Daffodil Delight on the centers of the flowers. Dimensionals were added to the back and the flowers were set in place on the front of the card.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink. They were punched out using the oval in the "Double Oval" punch and the scalloped oval was punched out using the same punch on a scrap piece of Gorgeous Grape card stock. I taped them together. Dimensionals were added to the back and the piece was set in place on the front of the card.  And the card was done.

I'm very pleased with how this card turned out. It was fun and easy to make too.

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
