Birthday Blooms

This is a special card I made for a demo friend of mine Dianne.  She received it over the weekend so I can go post it now.  I was going to post it yesterday. The rose is stamped on Shimmery White card, but here are the rest of my instructions:

  • The stamp set is Birthday Blooms stamped on Shimmery White card stock with the Archival Basic Black ink.
  • The base of my card is Always Artichoke cut at 4-1/4" x 11" and scored at 5-1/2" in the middle.
  • The second layer is Blushing Bride but at 4" x 5-1/4".
  • The third and fourth layers, are Shimmery White cut at 3" x 3-1/2" layered onto Always Artichoke cut at 3-1/4" x 3-3/4".
  • Begin by using the Blushing Bride marker to color in your rose. Add the Calypso Coral marker in the shaded areas and then blend again with Blushing Bride marker.
  • I also used Watermelon Wonder on some of the petals and blended with Blushing Bride marker.
  • For the leaves, I used Pear Pizzazz and Always Artichoke markers.
  • Stamp the sentiment "For You" with the Archival Basic Black at the bottom of the card.
