Birthday Gladiolas

Another post today - I'm determined to win something from PTI during their birthday celebration!  lol  The challenge today is to make a project using one of their "Year Of Flowers" stamp sets.  Of course I have them all, so the hardest thing for me was choosing which flower set to use for my card.  I decided to use Gladiolas, the flower for August from the mini collection.

I used Sweet Blush cardstock for the card base, added a layer of  pink and white pattern paper and rounded the bottom corners.  I die-cut a doily and placed it on top.  I stamped the flower image on Rustic White cardstock and colored it with Copics.

I die-cut Seed Frame #2 in Sweet Blush cardstock and also die-cut the same in coaster to give the cardstock a little support.  I placed the colored image in the frame, stamped Gladiolas on top and Happy Birthday on the bottom.  The frame is on foam tape for dimension.

I added glitter on the flowers, tied white tulle around the card and adhered two buttons in the bottom corner to complete the card.

  3. This is such a pretty card. The grid paper is a great way to set off the softness of the rest of the card. The tulle looks wonderful in a bow. You just reminded me to try it.
