happy bday flower

 Happy Friday! What a crazy busy week I've had - I'm off to the dr. this morning (just a physical) then lunch with hubby and some errands. We have another busy weekend - Fall is always so busy for us. But I get to see the grandkids Sunday, we're going to bring bagels over again and hang out for a couple of hours. I'm really looking forward to it.

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Color Dare #669

The Sisterhood of Crafters - Birthdays

Double D - Make  Your Own Background

Tic Tac Toe #279 (Large Sentiment, Three or More Colors, Stamped Image)

Seize the Birthday #313 - Embossing Topping



I created my background by ink smooshing Cracked Pistachio and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Inks on watercolor paper. I stamped the flowers (Visible Image) directly on the card with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then stamped the larger flower onto musical note DP and fussy cut, paper piecing just the flower portion. I stamped the background stamps with coordinating inks, then used a die cut for the sentiment with black cardstock. Finished it off with some gemstone stickers. Peace.
