Hello everyone! Happy May Day! I'm so excited to share that I'm guesting with Just Us Girls this month!! Appropriately the first challenge of May (#773) is to use a flower die on your card. Let's have a look at what I created for the challenge.
My mom's birthday is at the end of April (28th) and so this card was made for her. I used a beautiful Memory Box magnolia die for my flower. I die cut all the pieces from white cardstock and then inked them up with distress oxide inks using the small Waffle Flower blending brushes. The little brushes provide great control in adding color. I let all the pieces dry and then assembled the flower. I decided to go a little outside the box and use some pretty patterned paper from the 49 and Market Kaleidoscope 6x8 paper pack. The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set called Garden Fresh. I stamped the birthday sentiment and die cut it with the matching die. The happy was stamped and cut into a small strip. Adding this to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.
