Bloom with Hope - birthday

Today I have used the Bloom with Hope stamp set again -

you may recall that I made a few Sympathy cards using this set last week.

Today I have used this set for a happier occasion - a birthday, 

I did mention earlier that August was a busy month for birthdays.

I won't say who this card is for - as it might be for you!!

Simple colour combo of Real Red and Very Vanilla,

with a tough of gold glitter for the flower centre.

I stamped the blossom onto Real Red card with Real Red ink, twice,

then fussy cut them both out, and shaped them and layered them using a dimensional.

The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes cut with the Word Window punch 

and layered onto a punched Modern Label .

CAS Sympathy card.

In the past two weeks, I have now made four sympathy cards.

Not easy to make, I know, but what I tend to do is, as I come up with a design, 

I repeat the design with different colours.

Here's the most recent one.

Very simple monochrome colours, Blackberry Bliss and White.

Its a new stamp set - Bloom with Hope - and I think that the flower is

beautiful - as is the sentiment.

The sentiment is stamped and then cut out with the Deco labels Collection Framelits.
