May Flowers!

Pin It Now! That's the theme for this week's challenge over at SU-Only Challenges. The card I made is a birthday card but you could use this for any occasion. Just imagine all the beautiful color combos you could use!


For the card base I chose Shimmery White card stock; not sure how well it showed up in the picture. I also used a 4 7/8" x 3 1/4" piece of Shimmery White for the top layer & ran it through the Big Shot using the small polka dots from the Backgrounds Texturz Plates. I wrapped a piece of Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon around the bottom third of the layer & adhered it to a 5" x 3 3/8" piece of Basic Black card stock. I stamped the sentiment from the set "All Holidays" using the Daffodil Delight classic ink. I adhered this entire layer to the card base & then ran some Poppy Parade card stock through the Big Shot using the Floral Fusion sizzlets die. I layered each flower & put a black brad in the center to hold them together. I put a glue dot in the center of each flower & positioned them on the ribbon.
Now how quick & simple was that!? Because it was so quick & easy I actually made up several to have on hand, all with different color combos: Blushing Bride, Perfect Plum, & So Saffron; Marina Mist & So Saffron just to name a couple. ;)
Thanks for stopping by & I hope you all have a great day! Take a minute to enjoy all the beautiful flowers today ;)
