I'm also joining the lovelies at Just Us Girls, where Lisa has chosen Flowers for their Word Week Challenge and the Anything Goes option at Seize the Birthday.
I ended up combining mostly some old and new Simon Says Stamp products for my card.
I couldn't help but go with flowers with this color combination and decided I should use one of the older flower dies in my collection. The dies were cut from white cardstock then inked with both SSS and Altenew inks.
I was itching to use the new Scalloped Arches dies and thought they would create the perfect landing spot for the flowers. The smaller die was cut from Spellbinder Fairytale cardstock and the larger with white. The sentiment was stamped using the EZ Strips Birthday stamp and cut out with the matching die.
For the background, I liked the scalloped look that coordinated well with the arches dies. The panel was cut from a light green cardstock then layered on the card base. With everything adhered to the card, the final step was to add some sparkle...I may have gotten a tiny bit carried away. 😁
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll take a moment to visit the challenge blog, where my amazing teammates have some wonderful inspiration for you. The challenge will remain open until Friday May 29th at 3pm EDT. Please come join us, won't you?

Stef, your purple and green coloring of these flowers is perfection, of course. I have been enamored with that scalloped arch myself and it looks amazing on your card! Thanks so much for playing along at Just Us Girls with flowers!!!
I'm loving every perfectly pretty scalloped layer topped with those marvelous blooms! This is a marvelous card, Stef. Thanks for sharing it with us at Just Us Girls!
Gorgeous card Stef. Love all the layers and your pretty blooms. I think the scalloped cover die is perfect with the scallop arches dies.
All the elements of this card play so well together, Stef. You have used one of my favorite Spellbinders cardstock-Fairytale. Your inking of your flowers and stems is just perfect! You should give lessons! Glad to see this beauty over at STB as well.
The stacked arched die cuts make the perfect frame and are echoed in the lime green embossed background. Fab inking of those pretty blooms. :)
Beautiful flowers, Stef! I love all those hues of violet and lime! And those scallops are divine! Such a pretty card, my friend!
Beautiful colouring and shading of your lovely flowers and leaves, Stef! They look perfect on your double layers of scalloped arches. The bright green background is so pretty with the etched design. Amazing card! xx
Each and every layer adds dimension and interest to this gorgeous card. Your coloring of the florals is fabulous! Love this card!
Where ever I see this card it makes a statement. Glad to see you here at Seize the Birthday Challenge.

Stef your card is gorgeous, that bloom is so lovely! The dotted panel goes so perfectly with the arches and that subtle smaller fairytale arch, beautiful! Thanks for making the colours look so good!

Echoing the others: from your gorgeous flowers to the scallop arch die to the cover plate background - every element and detail results in a combination that is striking and eye-catching. Talk about an inspiring way to showcase the challenge colours.
