Pansy Birthday Card

The rain the past 2 days gave me a chance to get into my craft room and play around with my Heartfelt Creations Burst of Spring set.  I made some boxes for Mother's Day using some of the DSP pansies, but this time I wanted to stamp, die cut and color my own pansies!  I saw this card on their website and decided to make it for my daughter's birthday next week.  I used SU's Sugarplum CS for my card base and Very Vanilla for my decorative layer.

The die that I used was called Regal Frame & Accent from Heartfelt Creations as well.  I just love it!  My greeting is from SU's Back to Basics stamp set embossed with Iridescent embossing powder.

I stamped and die cut my pansies in the same color using Crushed Curry for the center.  I also placed some yellow stamens in the center. I then added some Wink of Stella on the leaves.   For my first try, I think they turned out pretty good.  Practice makes perfect!

For my inside sentiment, I used one of the oval dies and a stamp from Gina K wreath stamp set.  I cut my CS at 7 1/2" and then scored it in half and cut my die out leaving a tiny piece open on the top to create the base card.  I plan on making myself an envelope for it.

I so enjoyed making this card.  I can see a lot of pansies in my future.  Have a great weekend. I have submitted this card to:
