I dug through my snippets to create this birthday card requested by a friend for her sister. I love how it turned out with the spring-like colors and flowers. I bought a pack of those beautiful papers at Tuesday Morning quite a while ago, and it's one of my favorites, so I have plenty of snippets left. I pulled out a long-retired embossing folder by Cuttlebug which came in a set called "with love" and made the panel of flowers. I enhanced the blooms with snippets of matching colors done with a Poppystamps stitched Holly Leaves & Berries die set. The vertical border was done with a retired SU! lacy scalloped punch and the stitched tag was stamped with a SNSS sentiment. The final touch was a tiny bow made with SU! daffodil delight ribbon.
I'm going to enter this into the Snippets Playground #346 which requires simply that you use snippets for your project.
Also entering into the Seize the Birthday challenge #159 - anything goes
Thanks for spending a bit of your day with me, I wish you a great week ahead!

LOVE the simple way you created it, sometime a little piece of beautiful patterned paper and an EF make a wonderful match! The scallop border adds a lot of sweetness and love the coordinate centres of the flowers! Well done!!
Hugs!

As soon as this opened I said AWWH this is pretty……...Lis
Really fabulous card Carol - I love the paper, so pretty. Brilliant how you teamed the colours to pull it all together as well. And I have a feeling I have that EF as well, part of a set I think - unless I gave it away at some point. Hmm, need to go hunting for it once am mobile again.
Hugs

A really pretty card, Carol. I love the embossed panel, I thought at first you had die cut the flowers in white and laid them over a plain panel of white card. xx
This is so gorgeous and I want to thank you for the reminder of how gorgeous that little embossed flower is. I just adore this card with all the spring colors and design.
That paper is so pretty! And I love the little coordinating flower centers. Very pretty card!
So beautiful Carol, funny I have this little set of EF, maybe because they are long skinny ones I have not used mine often, but wow, this is beautiful, lovely background papers too...
Everything blends so well. Love the dainty flowers.
A fabulous card Carol, beautiful papers.

I think we will be using that pretty paper forever! I may just case this card, as I do not think I have ever used my EF like this....and the centers look perfect.
Oh my goodness Carol, this is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I love the embossed flowers with the coordinating colors of your papers...really makes it come together beautifully!! :) I think I'm inspired to pull out my snippets!! HUGS
I love the dark background with the big bold flowers, especially how you've picked out the colours to add embellishments to the embossed flowers x
Love this! Those long daisies are so pretty with the patterned paper. Thanks for linking up with us at Seize the Birthday!
