I chose to go diagonal from the bottom left to top right - happy sentiment, free and die cut.
I thought this was just such a happy card, with those fun floral dies. The die set is called Garden Party and it is included in Spellbinders Just Add Cake Birthday Card Making Kit. The kit actually comes with 7 die sets of which I used three on this card (listed below).
I started with four purplish shades of cardstock for the flowers and one for the leaves and stems. I chose to use gold metallic for the flower centers and stamin to match the die cut Happy Birthday sentiment. I used the die packaging example as the basis for my card.
For the background a medium blue ink was lightly blended on a white panel, then die cut with the scallop die and adhered to the card base. After all the flowers were arranged and adhered, the die cut sentiment and the stamped sub-sentiment (also from the kit) were added with foam tape and I was done! With all the gold, I didn't think embellishments were necessary.
Thanks for stopping by! I encourage you to take a moment and slip over to the challenge blog, where my amazing teammates have a fun variety of cards to inspire you! The challenge will stay open until Friday June 5th at 3pm EDT. I hope to see your card in the gallery!

I agree, a sweet and sunny card and lots of awesome colors.
That Garden Party set has become a favorite and I just made a shaker card with it. I love the bright colors you chose for your card, Stef, and the gold is wonderful as the flower centers.
Those gold accents certainly do make this a fancy card! Love the colors you chose and the fun style of those beautiful flowers. Hope you have a wonderful week!
What a beautiful combination of purple blossoms. Stef! The touches of gold certainly add a touch of elegance, with no embellishments necessary. These flowers have just a hint of whimsy. I do believe you have created a new genre of cards: whimsical elegance...and I LOVE it! Have a wonderful week!
The little scalloped border is a quiet achiever in this card, giving that little touch of elegance. The blooms are big, bold and beautiful and it all adds up to a great card. :-)
These ARE happy flowers as well as a happy card! There is so much to look at here, all those florals just make me smile! Great sentiment too!
Stef, this card is just fabulous! I love the bright, happy colors and the whimsical flowers. The gold foil centers and sentiment adds so much detail. WOW! This card would brighten anyone's day!
Those bright diecut florals are just so lovely and cheery Stef and the touches of gold add a lovely shine too! Beautiful!
Stef, you are right. This is such a happy card. Thst big, bold, purple flower is fabulous. I love the touches of shimmer and shine from the gold. Fabulous card.
