A birthday card, with a vase and flowers

 


'Birthday Honours' at


Happy Monday to all my crafty friends!

Today I'm sharing a floral birthday card I made, using Pinkfresh Studio 'Floral Vase' stencils and dies.

I followed the colors from Color Throwdown #743, given by Broni.

I always loved the combination of green and pink.

First, I made the vase, with some greyish inks, die cut it and stamped the sentiment.

Then I made the bouquet, playing with the strength of the ink blending, to create some dimension to the leaves. For the flowers I used 3 different inks in shades of pink.

I added some lime enamel dots around the bouquet, and some clear dots to the vase.

I matted the white panel with lime cardstock and adhered to the white basis.


Challenges:

Color Throwdown - lime, pink and white:


Seize the Birthday - I went with the anything goes birthday theme, not using the topping:


The flower challenge - pretty pastels:
