Springtime Flowers

Morning Everyone, I wanted to make a special birthday card for a fellow stamper. Since it was a milestone birthday, it had to be a WOW card. I started with the Beautiful Life set (one of my favorite retired sets) and Mojo Monday layout #185 for the front.

And inside...

The beautiful pop-up flower box was designed by Brenda Quintana. She graciously provided a tutorial here. This card is a great candidate for the Splitcoaststampers' Creative Crew catalog focus challenge this month, punches. This card certainly used a few!

Stamps: Beautiful Life, Woodgrain BG; Paper: Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade, Regal Rose, Rich Razzleberry, Concord Crush, Marina Mist, Very Vanilla, retired Certainly Celery and So Saffron DSP; Ink: Old Olive, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Poppy Parade, Regal Rose, Rich Razzleberry, Concord Crush, Marina Mist; Accessories: Sponges, Apricot Appeal grosgrain ribbon, Brads, Eyelet Border punch, Various punches for flowers, Coluzzle, Scallop Circle #2 die, Tasteful Trim die, Square Lattice embossing folder, Big Shot, Sewing machine, Thread.

Thanks for stopping by!
