Seize the Birthday Challenge - #305 Flowers

Our leader,Nancy is our hostess for this challenge and the topping is flowers. 

Of course you can just make it a birthday card and still enter. 

But what fun it would be to use the topping for a chance to be a guest designer with us! 

Here is how I started my card. This is a sheet of 6X6 design paper from Spellbinder Woodland Tales. It actually looks like it had wrinkles in it, but it is just shading. 

By just adding more dimension with die cut flowers and leaves, this card came together quickly. 

A close-up picture. 

Supplies for this card:

Spellbinders Woodland tales design paper

Layered Anemone die

The Greetery Botani Cuts Palm die

Gina K Designs the Northern Woods for the sentiment. 

We have a Surprise Party Quest with us for the next two months. I am sure that you have seen her work before as she is not new to paper crafting. We are happy to have her. 

Give her some love!

Thanks, and using dies

This card will be entered in the Pink Fresh May 2025 Inspiration Challenge 

and 

A Cut Above for May anything goes

I started out with a stencil by Pink Fresh called Geometric Tile in the colors in the challenge. Then I die cut many Pink Fresh Nested Hexagons in white. layering them for demension. I used a small and a larger die to make a frame. The flowers were done with Pink Fresh Sweet Blossoms die and stencil. I chose small ones to place in each hexagon and reserved the third one for my sentiment. That is Pink Fresh You are Next Level Amazing stamp. A few gems from my stash. I like the thin black border on the front panel too. 

I am also entering this card in a new challenge. Stencil fun.
