Welcome to a new Seize the Birthday Thursday! Our newest optional *topping* will likely turn out to be a popular one: Make it a Bouquet! 💐 I turn to flowers less often than some cardmakers, so it was good to have that little push to make a floral card.
My friend Chris recently made this card, which inspired me to grab the same stamp set. I stamped the flowers twice by rotating the panel in my Misti - at the time, thinking I was leaving the right space between the two for a sentiment banner across the middle of the card. I need to get serious about refilling some of my Copic markers, but I did the best I could and kept blending to a minimum. As I thought about a sentiment, I realized I had the perfect "swoop" between the flowers for this curved sentiment! I rounded the corners of my panel, added it to a yellow card base, and threw on a little bling.
Beautiful bouquets from my StB teammates and our current surprise party guest, Lynda! Whether you choose the bouquet option or not, I hope you will make a birthday card and join us!
Such a vibrant bouquet - love the colours - and that curvy sentiment is just perfect. xx
ReplyDeleteGreat floral card, love the curvy sentiment in the middle it's perfect for the space. (which was a feat to get perfect) Nice and bright and cheerful.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous! Thanks for the shout out, too! I wonder if we can keep the CASE-ing up, and perhaps someone could case your card. LOL!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty bouquets Love your coloring and the curvy sentiment. Great card.
ReplyDeleteYou were inspired and it looks amazing. I love the primary colors and that curvy sentiment. It all comes together so cute.
ReplyDeleteI know you are not a flower stamper, but you are really good at it and should consider doing it more often. I love these images and your choice of bright bold colors. Such a pretty birthday card! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colourful flowers and the curvy sentiment looks perfect! This has a real folk art feel, love it! Cathy x
ReplyDeleteThis is so bright and colorful. Love how you have framed your sentiment. This reminds me of a Paper Smooches set I have that has not seen ink for ages. Perhaps I will be inspired to pull it out soon.
ReplyDeleteThey are bright and cheerful bouquets! Love that you chose the yellow base and the curved sentiment is so cute!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a lot of fun with these bouquets! The card looks so much fun too (I guess that's how Paper Smooches stamps are!!) I love the one layer look, and the shine of that bit of yellow in the backdrop. The bouquet looks such a happy one, sure to make the receiver's day happy!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fun and whimsical bouquet and the "celebrate" looks perfect tucked into the middle of all that color!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bouquets and oh, how pretty the curvy sentiment! Love this!
