Word Play, Blossom Bouquet Punch and Inlaid Embossing

Here's a card with lots of visual punch and texture using the Word Play stamp set that is currently on sale in May at 30% off, the new Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch from the Summer Mini, and the inlaid embossing technique.

I chose bright colors to make a fun card for a birthday or other happy event:  Wild Wasabi, Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry, as well as Whisper White for contrast.  All of the background flowers and shapes were punched out with the Bold Blossom Punch and the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch (flower), glued to the Wasabi background cardstock then run through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder to give it the texture.

I then added the sentiment which was stamped with the "Wish Big" from the Word Play set; I used the 2-Way Glue Pen and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to add some sparkle.  This was then attached to Whisper White punched out with the 2-3/8" XL Scallop Punch then embossed with the Big Shot and the Finial Press Embossing Folder.  Several Rhinestones were then added to the card for more sparkle!

From this angle you can see that I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock to the inside.  I then stamped it with a birthday greeting from the Full of Life set and added a couple more of the punchouts for fun and color.
