Lavender Flowers Birthday Card


Ingredients:

Card/Paper: Lavender Lace, Certainly Celery, Whisper White
Ink: Lavender Lace, Certainly Celery, White Stazon
Stamps: Sale-a-bration Polka Dot Punches, Sincere Salutations
Other: Acetate
Card Size: 13cm x 13cm (just over 5" x 5")

Method:

Stamped the flowers on the Lavender Lace and Certainly Celery card scraps with the same colours of ink, and then punched out using the 5 petal flower punch that matches them. Cut between each petal to the inner circle on the design before scoring down the centre of each. Stacked a lavender flower onto a celery one and finished with a flat backed pearl from the pretties kit.

The circles were cut using Nestabilities plain and classic scalloped circles. The greeting is stamped with Lavender Lace using Sincere Salutations. Stamped the Acetate card base with white Stazon and the same five petal flower stamp as used for the 3D flowers.
