Happy birthday to me! Wow, these years really go by fast, don’t they?
It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Stamping Friends Thursday Challenge. It’s a color challenge this week. I don’t know if I would have ever put these colors together on my own, but they really work!

FLOWERS OF BEAUTY
I’ve used the Flowers of Beauty Dies only on this card, so it came together VERY easily.

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Bubble Bath cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded to form the base card.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Pebbled Path cardstock was added on top.
- The 2-1/2 x 4 marbled print from Winter Meadow 12×12 Designer Paper (Online Exclusive) was added across the front.
- The leaf branch was cut Basic White cardstock and the flower stalk from Shy Shamrock cardstock using the Flowers of Beauty Dies and added to the front.
- The flowers were cut with the dies from Bubble Bath cardstock and the small flower layered over the larger one, then curled them up. They were added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the flower stalk.
- Some Iridescent Pearls were added to the center of the flowers and a trio in the background.
- The greeting from Unbounded Love was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Pebbled Path cardstock, then cut with the Unbounded Love label die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Maybe I should have made this a birthday card today in celebration, but it seems I always need sympathy cards. OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
