Beautiful Birthday for The Flower Challenge

Hello friends!  Today's card is for The Flower Challenge mid-month reminder of our current challenge which is to use a circle or circles on your card.  I've gone the easy route this time with my card and you can too!  Just remember to upload your card by the 25th.

The Flower Challenge

For my card, I used one of my all time favorite floral images from Altenew.

The flower, leaves and berry branch were all stamped, colored with Copic markers, then die cut with the coordinating dies.  I love the soft pink with the dark blue-green leaves, and I used a muted green and purple for the berry branch.  I had a leftover die cut circle with a pretty design and decided to use that for mounting the floral image.

Happily, the embossed sentiment was a leftover as well.  For the background I used a cover plate on white, then die cut it with a rectangle die and adhered it to the white card base.  Two more circles were die cut and layered together under the top one, then added to the base.  I adhered the leaves and branch to the back of the flower, trimmed off any excess, then used thin foam squares to adhere to the circle.  The sentiment was also added with foam squares and some enamel dots finished things off.

I certainly hope you'll join us by the 25th of the month and in the meantime, be sure to use the link above to see my teammate's beautiful creations!  

As always, thanks for visiting and take care!
