Hello Crafty Friends!
How is your August going? Have you been enjoying your summer weather? My flowers are enjoying the August sun. In the past few days the lilies have started to bloom and they smell fabulous. The Bee Balm are attracting humming birds and other busy fliers. The Coneflowers are gleefully open and the Black Eyed Susans are starting to show their sunny petals. The garden may have some weeds but even they are in bloom. It is a beautiful scene.
The garden flowers inspired the birthday card I am sharing today. Let's jump into the instructions:
- Create a top fold card from blue card stock. Mat and mount floral paper (Bo Bunny Genevieve) to the card front.
- Die cut white card stock using Swirl Lattice die. Cut blue patterned paper to size and apply gold marker along edge. Adhere lattice die cut. Mount to card front using double sided foam tape.
- Die cut patterned paper using Rose Buds die. Form flowers and add stamens to center.
- Mount flowers and gem swirl to lattice die cut.
- Die cut vellum paper using Spellbinders Opulent Ovals die. Cut Happy Birthday twice- once in gold and once in white card stock. Offset mount to vellum oval. Mount to card front.
- Decorate inside as desired.
Have a happy, crafty day.
Big Hugs,
Kathy Jo
