I made this card for the letter Z for Zealous Blooms. My grandmother used to comment that some of her flowers were zealous and I finally asked her what that meant. She said zealous means the flowers are intense in color. I used 2 Altenew layering flower stamp sets to make this birthday card. A lot of masking is involved in making this, but it went a lot faster than I thought it would and it is fun to watch the image come together. Once the image was completed, then I took a spellbinders matting basic die and cut into the image in order to make a frame around the image. The frame is popped up on foam tape for some added dimension around the middle area. Thanks for looking! ~Karen.

Love your zealous in color flowers! Lovely arrangement, too. I like how you popped up the frame, rather than the panel. Into my favs for this gorgeous card. Well done with Letter Z. TFS

Oh, this is so fantastic Karen. Love your bright colors and the fact that you framed this looks so awesome. Love the font of that Penny Black sentiment too! Beautiful card for your friend Dawn!

Flower colors are beautifully zealous as your grandmother would say! Gorgeous...Your bg looks slightly sponged with a light pink...sequins the perfect addition.

Wow! Gorgeous flowers and beautifully colored. I like that they have dew on them, too. Don't you just love matting basics? I sure do.
