This is my 2nd sample for CC843. Karen is our hostess and she chose rich razzleberry, pear pizzazz and highland heather for the color trio. Dessert option this week is May flowers.
I started my card by ink blending the white image panel corners with wilted violet distress ink. For the flowers, I used an older Stampin'-Up set from a Paper Pumpkin kit - "all about everything". Stamped the flowers in highland heather, the centers in rich razzleberry and the stems in pear pizzazz.
Cut a white panel for the die cut birthday sentiment and added some black faceted enamel dots to finish off the card.
Hope you can play along with us this week. Karen has chosen some great colors for your May flowers.

Mary, I love the bold birthday! We shared the same idea making the flower centers in Rich Razzleberry (great minds think alike)! Very nice card design! TFS

This creation caught my eye right away. I love your softly sponged corners, the whimsical flowers and especially the bold sentiment strip set diagonally across the card ~ wonderful design element!

Mary, thanks for reminding me about that very pretty and versatile stamp set. It is so perfect on this card. I love the blending--one again, your ink blending is so smooth, giving your background such beauty and dimension. Love the big, bold greeting, too!
