Beautiful Blooms II Birthday

      After the holidays I needed to move away from winter/Christmas colours and images. So ... I found some pinks, oranges, and yellows to make this birthday card for a Papertrey Ink forum member - one of my "Post Its"  friends.
 

     I started by stamping several images from Beautiful Blooms II (Papertrey Ink) in pink and orange with bright yellow centers. My colour inspiration came from the striped ribbon - lots of pinks, yellow and orange!!
      I wanted the images to have some added dimension, so I used the matching dies to cut out some pink and orange felt (some that I've had in my sewing stash for years!!) and then layered the paper images on top of the felt. A little flower punch was used to make the center of the flowers and a white brad holds all the layers together. The green leaves were stamped from BB II and cut out for each of the flowers.
     I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder on white card stock and then layered it onto a pink base. The sentiment (from Just the Ticket: PTI) was stamped and then punched with a Stampin'Up punch. All the edges of the white card stock were sponged with some pink.

     The Fillable Frames #5 stamp and die were used for the sentiment - I combined two phrases from Everyday Button Bits.
