BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

Hello and Welcome

Now that the recipient has received this beautiful card, I am able to set this post ‘Live’.

I created this card for a dear friend and customer 70th Birthday. This afternoon Sheila held a lovely garden tea party for friends, family and neighbours. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon, catching up with a few mutual friends.

I have only recently purchased the Floral Essence bundle and this was the stamp set I immediately chose to create Sheila’s special card.

The larger base was made scoring in half a whole A4 sheet of my favourite Blackberry Bliss cardstock, and added a mat layer of the coordinating Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. I then cut a top layer of Whisper White cardstock to stamp on.

The main topper image was stamped in Blackberry Bliss first, and then without reinking again, stamped 2nd generation to the right and 3rd generation to the left.

Next I stamped four flowers using Blackberry Bliss Classic Stampin’ pad, punching out with Perennial Essence punch. Four leaves were then stamped using Old Olive Classic Stampin’ pad and punched out with the Leaf Punch.

Assembled flowers were then added to the card, tucking shaped leaves underneath as you wish.

Finally, I repeated some of the above stamping on the front corner of the envelope and the back envelope flap. As this envelope was being hand-delivered, I also added a extra 3D stamped and punched flower.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing today’s share. If you like this set and are interested in attending my Floral Essence class, please contact me for more details.

Thanks again for stopping by and hope to see you back here soon.
