This is my first sample for CC935. Chris is our hostess and she chose rich razzleberry, fresh freesia and evening evergreen for her color trio. Dessert option this week is dry embossing.
I started my card by dry embossing the fresh freesia cardstock with the leaf bundle 3d folder from Simon Says Stamp. Then I started building my card.
I stamped and die cut the peony image and colored with Stampin' Up Blends (Alcohol markers). I used a die from CottageCutz to cut out the other greenery.
My birthday phrase is another die from CottageCutz. Finished off this card with a few evening evergreen opal rounds.
Hope you can play along with us this week. The colors are rich and bold. Looking forward to seeing all the gallery card.

Beautiful bg texture to show off your peony, Mary. I like the different types of greenery, especially the ones with the razzleberry colored berries. Very pretty design~

So very pretty, Mary. I love the way your bouquet is reflected in the embossed background. I used those opal rounds on my card, too. I just love how they sparkle. This is a wonderful birthday card!
