Framed Flowers - Seize the Birthday

A brand new month and a brand new sketch at the Seize the Birthday challenge this week!  We want to see your feminine cards this go round.  Be sure and stop by the challenge blog and see all the inspiration from the DT.    We're being sponsored by Uniko Studio!  Check out their store - fabulous stamps and papers.


Those flowers and the butterfly make me think that Spring is just around the corner now!  Hooray!!  I used a couple of stamps from Watercolor Trio (SU) for this birthday card....added a bit of DP and a tiny butterfly with a pearl.  I've framed it out using the Tulip embossing folder from SU, cut down to a size to fit the image.  I haven't used this folder much because it always seems to be larger than what I want.  I saw on Pinterest how to cut it down (here), so tried it and it seemed to fit my image just like I wanted it to.

Great sketch AND a great sponsor for this challenge!






Thanks for stopping by............and be sure and check out the Seize the Birthday challenge!

  21. This is a SUPER colour combo, Lynn. And I thought the DP was actually ribbon since you are a ribbon queen. It looks fab. The image has such dreamy look to it and it sits in so well in the embossed cardstock. Very pretty.

  24. OK, I liked your froggie card, it was adorable. But now THIS one...this is my kinda style (and appreciate the link on how to cut down the folder. I'm always wanting to do that, dunno how). This card is so very pretty & springlike...very fresh in the blues & greens against the white. That EF was great with this image. TFS & for the link. Hugs
