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
ReplyDeleteReally 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.

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
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteThat paper is so pretty! And I love the little coordinating flower centers. Very pretty card!
ReplyDeleteSo 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...
ReplyDeleteEverything blends so well. Love the dainty flowers.
ReplyDeleteA 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.
ReplyDeleteOh 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
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteLove this! Those long daisies are so pretty with the patterned paper. Thanks for linking up with us at Seize the Birthday!
