Beautiful Birthday

Another bit of crafty play happened over the weekend. I wanted to try making a card with small die cuts and here's what I came up with!



 I chose colors of card stock in three shades of pink. Also using some white I cut several flowers of each color. I needed some help lining them up into a grid pattern so I reached for the Birthday Blitz stamp set (SSS) that has the curving parallel lines. I stamped them in pale gray onto the card front and the square which has foam for added dimension. The bit of movement adds interest to the CAS design. Tiny clear sequins were added to each flower center. 

This card design is not my  usual go-to but I think I should try new styles more often. It's what makes this craft so satisfying! The sentiment is also from the SSS set, I really like that one.

I hope you're having a wonderful week. 
I was inspired to play with the sketch at Just Add Ink

This is such a pretty card Cindy. The continuous flow beside and behind your focal panel not only looks terrific but highlights the tiny flowers and bling so beautifully. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink.

You were very clever with this design, Cindy! I love the wavy stamp and it made a nice guide for your cute flowers and sequins. The separate center panel scooches it up a notch, too. It is definitely fun to try something different!

What a wonderfully eye-catching card! I might have thought of a row of small flowers, but it never would have occurred to me to do the curved lines and it's fabulous!
