Birthday Card


  I had a piece of this black DCWV dsp on my desk and thought something red would look great with it, so I pulled out a piece of red cardstock and stamped an image from SU's Fifth Avenue Floral set with Versamark and then embossed it with black ep. I stamped 3 leaves from a Hero Arts set and fussy cut everything and placed it on the dsp, popping up the rose with foam dots. I added 5 little red gemstones along with a pre-printed Simon Says Stamp sentiment on the bottom and called this one done.

I'm sharing it with the following challenges:

Allsorts challenge week #662 - A/G optional red flowers



Seize the Birthday #231 - sparkle & shine (red gemstones)


The Flower Challenge #65 - occasions (birthday)





That's it for me today, but as always, I do thank you for stopping by and I wish everyone a pleasant Sunday!

Carol

Hi dear friend, hope that all is going well for you and that you have a sweet Sunday in your part of the world! Love that piece of dsp, it called surely a clean card and you gave it justice with the superb red rose with white leaves! The few red gems and the sentiment compliment perfectly the elegant design!!
I wish you a lovely new week!
Big hugs and love!

I like the simplicity of this card and not easy to achieve with the grid background but this works a treat and boy does that rose pop x

Black and white with a pop of red is one of the best color combos! I really like this bold card!

Timelessly pretty card. It is as home in this, the month of Valentine's Day, as at any other point in the year when love is the air.
