Birthday Wishes Card

Hello!  Today I'm sharing this sweet birthday card over on the Scrapping Cottage blog for my guest designer post.  With it being the first day of Spring today, the floral design is perfect to share.  This die is so versatile and can be used for many occasions.
I used the Spring Teacup Bouquet for the focal point of my card.  Once I die cut all of the pieces out of white card stock, I watercolored everything with some Distress Inks. I went with a non-traditional color theme for my flowers.  I used some kraft card stock for the cup.
The background was kept simple with some kraft and watercolor card stock.  The frame was cut from the Stitched Wide Rectangle Frame Set
The flower clusters were assembled inside of the frame and adhered to the base of my card.  The arrangement of flowers was spread out to fill up the inside of my frame.
As a finishing accent, I added a sentiment from the My Craft Spot (retired) Tiny Tags 3 stamp set. The sentiment was attached to the cup handle with a jute bow.
I used these dies on my card, available here:
Thank you so much for stopping by!  Have a spectacular day!

  3. This is a beautiful card, Sukie! I love that you showed how to simply die cut all the flowers from white, but use ink to customize them. Perfect idea!
