Morning all and Happy Sunday. Sunday's are my day on the Make the Day Special Stamp Store blog and today I have a card to
share that I made for my Aunt whose birthday was this weekend and I
went all out with some of my favourite sets from WPlus9.
I started with the lovely new Coming Up Roses set and stamped the multi-bloom spring directly on the base card in green adding the triple rose stamps in red with deep red for the top layer. Next came a floral fest of stamping a die cutting using all the different blooms in the set in red, pink and yellow. I love playing florist with these sets and I simply arranged the die cut and stamped blooms in place with pin flair gel for dimension around the vase which was stamped in blue with grey edges.
I used the Aunt stamp from Embroidered Bouquet Additions and embossed it in white on grey card and cut a little banner for over the vase. The best wishes sentiment is from Fresh Cut Wreaths - I like to use sentiments on the front I can carry on into the middle so I added "on your birthday" inside.
I finished the card with a little DP (from my scrap box so no idea what its from sorry!) and my favourite twine - I love the thickness of all the Lawn Fawn twine but this triple set has my two "go to" colours of teal and grey so I use it a lot. A simple line of it with a knot adds interest to the design without getting too fussy.
As this is very CAS which is very much my signature style I am going to enter it into this week's Birthday Week Comfort Zone Challenge at Wplus9's blog http://stampawaywithme.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/birthday-celebration-week-1-comfort-zone.html
