Fancy Flower, With All My Heart, BC 142

Here's another clean and simple card made with the new Fancy Flower Punch, With All My Heart and Well Scripted stamp sets.  I posted a similar one a few weeks ago; this is one I used for my last workshop.  I love the soft spring-y colors of pinks, yellows and greens.  Can't wait for the spring flowers to bloom here in Oklahoma!

The card base is Pretty in Pink with layers underneath the flower of Regal Rose, Whisper White and Certainly Celery.  The open side of the card was treated with the new Pinking Hearts Border Punch.  (I just {love} the new punches Stampin' Up! has for us in the Occasions Mini Catalog!! ).  On the inside edge, I placed a 1/2" strip of one of the patterns from the Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper.  When the card is closed, it gives a colorful edge to the card.  It's amazing how a little touch of the DSP can add so much to a project!

The Barely Banana flower was first stamped with the same color ink and then punched out with the Fancy Flower Punch.  I snipped between the petals a bit then curled them with my bone folder  and shaped them with my fingers.  For the center I added a Regal Rose flower centered with a small Pretty in Pink flower, both punched with the Boho Blossoms Punch.  I also snipped between their petals and shaped them with my fingernails.  (Those acrylic nails should be useful for something, lol!)  You can't see it in the picture so much, but the inner blossoms also curl up some and give nice dimension.  A gold Mini Brad attaches them together.

The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink with the "Happy Birthday" from the Well Scripted stamp set. 

I'm posting this card for this past week's Blogger's Challenge which was Birthday.  You can see a list of the other talented BC gals here to see what they've posted for the challenge.

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you have a good Monday!!
