Congratulations to Latisha Yoast (1busymomof2) on being chosen Featured Stamper today. What a wonderful gallery she has! I could have spent hours browsing, but severe weather forced me off the computer for a while. Before that happened, though, I chose this Happy Birthday card to CASE Happy Birthday by 1busymomof2 at Splitcoaststampers. My sister-in-law's birthday is coming up, and I wanted to make her an extra special card.
I used three stamp sets to make this card and DP from Basic Gray's Porcelain Paper Pad. I stamped a flower from Flower Fancy (SU) on the background paper and stamped the sentiment on the bottom of the card using Verve's Blessings set. The camellia is from Speedy the Cat's Designer Collection Apples & Camellia. I stamped it three times with Rose Red (SU) on Whisper White (SU) and then sponged Cameo Coral chalk on each flower. I then cut out various parts of each flower and layered them and added a green rhinestone in the middle.
I have never attached a pearl flourish before and was nervous about getting it right, but it turned out to be pretty simple to do. I also added some lace and ribbon and punched a border on the floral strip.
TFL.

This is GORGEOUS!! Love the background you created, that flourish peal design is FANTASTIC! (I've been afraid to try them - maybe now I will :-)! Love the colors and ribbon - everything is just beautiful!
