Floral Bday Card

Created this birthday card with a floral theme. Used the Stampin' Up stamp true to its name, Secret Garden, as a 'Secret' stamped in white under the embossed layer. Used a SU punch to punch out flowers from a magazine page. Used white cardstock & colored cardstock for the flowers for sturdiness so I could pop up the petals. Used MISTI tool to stamp the birthday sentiment.























Supplies List 


embossing: Cuttlebug Poppy emb folder
ink: VersaFine Onyx Black
machine: Sizzix
other: magazine Tide ad page w/ flowers from allrecipes.com
paper:  cardstock - greens, purple, red, white, yellow
Simon Says Stamp: ink - White  stamp - It's Your Birthday

  3. What an absolutely clever idea to incorporate magazine pictures into your card! I love the visual variety your flowers have and how you even worked them into the background so nicely. I really like how you punched flower images with a flower punch! Thanks so much for sharing such interesting techniques with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
