Blooming Birthday

MESSAGE BOUQUETS

The sentiments are in the flowers! was the challenge.
Flowers: stamped flowers, punched flowers, silk flowers, etc. Bouquet: 2 or more flowers Stamps: sentiments or letters to spell out a sentiment + any backgrounds and flowers Paper & Ink: any Embellishments: 2 or less Tools: any

This was really fun idea. I love this bright paper by sassafraslass "in stitches" and I felt the text paper and flower followed the challenge.

To make the blooms I sandwiched bluebell 2tone card to back of text paper and made 5 4cm circles plus one out of card. Then sandwiched bananasplit 2tone card to back of text paper and made 5 31/2 cm circles plus one out of card. I adhered the print circles to the card circle and folded the edge close to centre revealing the other colour.

The central message was another circle I stamped HOTP sentiment onto and embossed entire circle with clear embossing powder and applied to centre of bloom with 3d foam.

I cut the stem free hand from green card stock embellished with faux stitching and die cut hearts form the same text print paper and positioned with 3d foam to represent leaves.
