I am doing a sample for Dee's "Fruity Birthday" challenge (FTTC52C)! Please check out the Flourishes Anniversary Celebration post to find out how to play along!I used my Flourishes Life, Love, Lemons stamp set for this. I stamped a background with the sliced fruit image in new sprout and daffodil inks, masking the images. I stitched that panel to a scrap of light green card stock and punched the edges with a scalloped punch. I also used a hole punch to put holes into the scallops on one side. The main image was stamped on wc paper and embossed with clear ep. Next I colored the image with Tombows and added some yellow stickles and a tiny drop of red liquid pearls to the center of the flower. It was layered on pale yellow card stock and both panels were die cut with the Nestabilites blossom. The sentiment was stamped with a HA stamp and layered on punched ovals. A piece of ribbon from my stash was added for the final touch.
Thanks for the fun challenge Dee and thanks for stopping by!

Pretty, happy colors -- like the stamp and mixing up the usual birthday theme. There's acually a lot that can be done with the lemon/birthday message too!
