Thank you to everyone who joined me for my Facebook Live on Friday afternoon, where I shared this lovely birthday card featuring the Sending Salutations Stamp Set, Boutique Blooms Stamp Set and Dies, and the gorgeous Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper.
I absolutely love how the soft blue tones in the Mosaic Garden Designer Series Paper create a beautiful backdrop for the focal panel. The intricate pattern adds interest without overwhelming the design, allowing the delicate Boutique Blooms image to take centre stage.
For the focal point, I stamped and die-cut one of the pretty floral images from the Boutique Blooms Stamp Set. I coloured the flower in soft blues to coordinate perfectly with the designer paper. I then added a few stamped floral accents behind the die-cut image for extra detail.
The sentiment from the Sending Salutations Stamp Set is perfect for celebrating someone's special day. The combination of script and block lettering gives the greeting a modern and elegant feel.
To finish the card, I added a soft blue ribbon bow and a few coordinating gems for a little sparkle and dimension.
If you missed the Live, you can catch the full tutorial on YouTube and see how the card comes together step by step.
