Two for Tuesday - Petal Park Birthday Card

 Hi Everyone,


For this week's comparison, I have used one of my favourite colours - Highland Heather and a new to me returning colour which is joining our Core Colour range - Lost Lagoon. I've used the Subtles dsp stack as my background designer series paper and the Best Wishes stamp set. Which colour do you like best ?

Materials

1 piece of coloured card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4" and a scrap for the circle
1 piece of basic white card stock 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scraps for the sentiment and the flowers
1 piece of Subtles dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
Scraps of silver foil for the leaves
Best Wishes stamp set
Petal Park stamp set
Highland Heather ink
Lost Lagoon ink
Petal Park Builder Punch
Natural Prints dies
Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine
Stylish Shapes dies
Trimmer
Simply Scored 
Bone Folder
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Basic Rhinestones

Instructions

On the long side score the card stock at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Add the dsp to the card front.

Die cut the largest circle in coloured card and the next size down in basic white. Die cut several sets of the leaf stems in silver foil.

Stamp the sentiment on the white circle and then layer up on the coloured one and add to the card front using dimensionals.

Stamp the set of three flowers using full strength for the outline stamp and then stamp off once for the infill, punch these out.

Arrange the flowers around the circle, some on dimensionals, some flat to give some height and texture, tuck in the leaf stems around them, I've chopped them into smaller bits. As you can see my flowers aren't arranged exactly the same on both, just go with the flow, whatever looks right to you is fine.  Add some rhinestones to the flower centres.

Stamp a sentiment and some flowers on the remaining piece of white card and adhere on the inside.
