It's the fifth day of the month and that means time for a new challenge on the Let's Craft & Create Blog. This month's optional challenge theme is "Add Flowers" so I thoroughly embraced it!
I started with Takes the Cake Stamp & Stencil from The Greetery. When I saw it during their May release, I knew it would become part of my collection! I love the layered stencil flowers that are part of this set! I did limit my purchase, thinking I could fussy cut the cake rather than buy the die! It hasn't been too bad! (Of course - that decision gave me permission to buy another stamp from the release!!). The floral background is a 3D embossing folder from Spellbinders called Four Petal Flower. In addition to the flowers that are part of the cake, I finished the card off with variety of die cut flowers - some are from a Spellbinders die and others are from Taylored Expressions.
The "happy birthday" banner is a die from The Greetery. You may notice a little heart between the words happy and birthday. It says "half" because I forgot my SIL's real birthday and decided I would make it up by sending her a "half-ty" birthday card!! I am crazy about how this card came out. I hope you can play along with our challenge. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
In kindness, Cathy
