"TEXTURED FLORAL" BIRTHDAY CARD

 


Saturday is my mother's birthday.  Today I'm sharing the card that I made for her, and it features Stampin' Up!'s "Textured Floral" bundle which happens to be oh, so gorgeous!  This is one of those product bundles that makes it nearly impossible to end up with something less than pleasing.  Seriously!


I knew I wanted to use the stamped die-cuts to create a wreath but, after playing around with placement and trying to be careful to not move anything that looked perfect (before gluing them in place), I realized that it was actually going to be just fine wherever I placed the pieces or however they landed.  What's not to LOVE about that?!?!


My ink colors are Old Olive, Melon Mambo, Pebbled Path, and Berry Burst.  The embossing folder that I used is Distressed Tile 3D.  I'd just like to interject that there's no such thing as having too many embossing folders and yet, if you only have one or two, you're going to be just fine because the truth of the card-making matter is that any embossed texture truly elevates your project and adds depth, dimension, and texture.


As you can see in the above photo, this card is lush with texture!  The only Stampin' Dimensional that I used was on the right end of the sentiment which, by the way, was cut with a Stitched So Sweetly (retired) die.


Cardstock colors are white and Soft Sea Foam.  I really liked this card and was proud to send it to my mother, and she seemed to love it! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOTHER!!!!
