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

  7. 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
