Congrats to Cheryl! Lovely gallery and I chose Sept Birthday to case. I kept the birthday and flower theme, but changed my centerpiece to a circle instead of an oval, used different colors and images and moved the ribbon to around the circle instead of down the side.
For my card, I stamped the large background onto white card stock. Just the section with the Rose wording was stamped again on a smaller piece. I added just a hint of color to the leaves on the large one and used a circle die for the small one. I used a narrow red ribbon to add the loops around the edge and I attached a cardboard circle to the back to keep it all in place. There is a black labels 3 die cut under the circle, but it's a little hard to see.
I stamped the big rose twice and the small rose once, colored them with a water brush and some dye reinkers then cut them out. A little shading was added with some markers. I used a stylus on the top two to add a little dimension then layered them on top of each other. The sentiment was stamped with red and layered on a red scrap. I made a little vellum envelope to tuck it into. The finished card measures 4.25 x 5.50 (A2).
Thanks so much for looking! Close ups are on my blog: The Write Stuff
(actually it was blogged awhile back, but never made it here.)

This is so lovely. I love roses. I was just coming to comment now that I uploaded my entry. Your card caught my eye in the gallery immediately. (Thanks also for commenting on my card just now, but honestly, I am here because your card caught my eye as I did a quick stroll!) STUNNING!
