' I'm guest designing for the Allsorts challenge 796 this week with a floral birthday card. The challenge is to "add a sentiment."
I dug deep into my stash and found this pretty Flourishes Sweet Pea stamp. Sadly Flourishes closed quite some time ago but this stamp still looks as pretty as ever. I stamped the card base with the Sweet Pea image as well as another panel which I cut with a Cheery Lynn Designs French Lattice cover plate and then carefully placed it over the card base, matching up all the images as closely as possible. I colored everything with Copics and added lots of tiny black Nuvo Dots before adding a pre-printed Simon Says Stamp birthday sentiment. This was the first time I tried this technique and I love how it turned out.
Also sharing with these challenges:

Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to seeing the gallery filled with your designs with sentiments for this week's challenge.

Your Sweet Pea card is an absolute Delight Carol and such an interesting design. It's been a good year for Sweet Peas here and been able to pick quite a few bunches.
So pleased you joined us as our Guest Designer this week at Allsorts, thank you so much for your inspiration.
