Blooming with Kindness Birthday Card

Today's card was made for my Mom, her birthday is tomorrow.  I wanted a soft floral card, so I went with Blooming with Kindness.  It is a beautiful flower and has a great birthday greeting as well. 

After choosing the stamp set I wanted to work with, I thought about my colors.  Blushing Bride has been off my radar for awhile, so I thought it was time to use it and Crumb Cake.  I think these two colors look gorgeous together.  Here's how the card came together.

1.  Cut my card base from Blushing Bride card stock using the Pop 'n cuts base. 

2.  Stamped the flower in Crumb Cake on Whisper White and die cut it with a circle framelit.

3.  Die cut a Window Framelit from Crumb Cake to layer the flower on.

4.  After the flower is layered on Crumb Cake, paper pierced free hand around the circle.  Adhered the flower to a retired Blushing Bride DSP and paper pierced around the Crumb Cake.  Added the DSP to the front of the card.



Pretty simple card design. The paper piercing adds a little extra detail to brighten things up.  I have a couple more projects to share this weekend using the Pop 'n Cuts base. I hope you can stop back!

If it doesn't move...stamp it!!
