Happy Birthday in the Pink

I am entering one more card in this week's challenge at Joan's Gardens. The guidelines are Pink, Floral, and Swirls. 

Starting out with white cardstock, I ran some pink paper through a new Cuttlebug die I got (Anna Griffin Flourish Medallion) and put that on the cardstock as a background. Using a rose die (Spellbinders Spiral Blossom One), I cut out a pink rose, but the pink was very fluorescent and very garish, so I spray painted it with white paint. Tucked under the rose is a pink bow (Bow Easy), leaf flourishes (Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish and Cheery Lynn Mini Fanciful Flourish). To add some interest, depth and texture, I gathered a piece of tulle, inked it with pink ink and nestled it under the rose and bow. The sentiment is punched with a Martha Stewart Happy Birthday punch. The corners are rounded with a paper Studio small round corner punch, as is the white backing for the sentiment.

Here is the card:


I used my camera phone to get a better representation of the colors, but alas, I don't know how to turn the photo upright to display it in the proper orientation. I know that the readers of this blog are amazingly creative and can picture it as it is supposed to be!

This is a closeup of the tulle:
