Pretty, Summer Flowers Birthday Card

My friend asked me to make a Birthday card for her Mum, she wanted something quite modern and pink floral....... I had just ordered a set of Joy! Crafts flower dies and just knew they would be the perfect card to use them on!

I set to work die cutting all of those flowers, I also embossed the smallest flowers, I used pearlescent chalk, Brilliance pearlescent ink and Diamond Stickles for a bit of sparkle to decorate the flowers, then layered them up (some as a 3 layer flower some with just 2 layers) I finished each one off with a pearl ready to adhere to the card. I had decided I wanted to create the card using the easel design so I layered up some card to form the front panel. I used the cut out of the large flower as a stencil and using pearlescent chalk created a silhouette where I was going to adhere each flower, I then set to adhering all of the flowers, the ribbon and "Mum" letters.

I printed the verse then cut it out using a Nestie Label die and finished it off with chalks to co-ordinate with the card, I added this to the base along with some more ribbon, another flower and a few pearls to finish it off. I'm really happy with how it turned out, I think it has a lovely fresh summery look.
