Floral Birthday

Hi, Fellow Crafters!

 Today I made a birthday card for a very sweet family member. Her birthday is in about 3 1/2 weeks, but I have been thinking about the composition for some time now, and wanted to move forward with it.

I cut a negative frame by using a Cricut cartridge, cut the paper to size, then ran it through an embossing folder. Another piece of white paper was run through a lattice die, which was attached to the back of the embossed frame; then to the back of that was attached some multi-colored, glittery paper. 

 A corner embellishment was die cut and placed in the upper left hand corner; flowers were punched, along with foliage punches and dies and placed around the frame, and in the center of each flower is a liquid pearl. The sentiment was printed from my computer and backed with blue paper; both the sentiment and the backing were trimmed with a small corner rounder punch; they were mounted with pop dots. A little yellow butterfly with three liquid pearls along the body finishes the card. It is also coated with gold glitter glue.

 Tools used:
  • Cricut:  Elegant Edges Cartridge
  • Spellbinders:  Fancy Lattice
  • Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots EF
  • Cheery Lynn:  Lace Corner Deco B, Mini Fanciful Flourish
  • Memory Box:  Pippi Butterfly
  • Paper Studio:  Small Flower Punch
  • Small Corner Rounder Punch
  • Martha Stewart: Five Leaf Punch
  • Liquid Pearls 
  • Gold Glitter Glue
  • Multi-colored Glitter Paper (Michael's)

Here is the card:

Romans 10:9-11
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT

    This is such a gorgeous, bright and bold card...Love the lay-out and colors you incorporated! We are so blessed you joined us last week at our Word Art Wednesday Challenge and hope you'll join us again this week. Leaving you with God's Word in Psalm 16:8 which says, "I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken." God bless, always!
