Seize the Birthday - Teal and White!

I made a card for a special person's birthday.  Her favorite color is Teal. When I looked at the toppings for Seize the Birthday for March 15th. I was very happy to see that it fit the bill.  So I am writing up this post in advance.  By now, my card will be sent out and the recipient will have gotten her special card.
                               
  Our "Toppings" option this time is...
"Teal and White"
 
Here is my card.  
 I am trying new ways to photograph my cards.  This is just one of the props that I am using.
Here is a more conventional view
 For this card, I used these stamp sets from Gina K Designs.  Bold Blooms and Bold and Blooming for the sentiment. White cardstock from Gina K.  Die is Frantic Stamper Lattice Beauty Edger.  Clear embossing powder and distress inks to color the flower.  Some sequins and clear drops from Kat Scrappiness.
Don't forget to finish the inside too.  A little more stamping and some scoring will do.

Our Surprise Party Quest is Kimberly Lackenbach and you can find here lovely creations for inspiration at Kims cards & Crafts.  

And see what the design team has done for your inspiration  I hope that you will play along with us.
