Graceful Birthday Card

Hello friends,  welcome and thanks for stopping by.  Today I have been playing with more neutral tones but with a spring feel.  I love the softness of the flowers against the grey and of course those Want2Scrap Swirls Finesse - they are so elegant.


I have cut/embossed the largest die from one of my 'go to' Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies using the Platinum Die Cutting Machine and older Kaisercraft patterned paper. Next it it has been adhered to a slightly larger pre-cut Scalloped white card base, which I believe is also Kaisercraft;  using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.

The next two layers are from Prima papers and chipboard from my stash, followed by a flower created using Spellbinders Blooms Flower Die D-Lites, sadly it is discontinued. Pink Ricrac has been glued across the lower portion of the card base.

                                              This card is linked to the following challenges:
