Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a card to celebrate Leisa's birthday (daughter of a dear friend). I hope she's received it by now.
I made this card using the lovely Nature's Magic Set (Altenew). This set has two pretty flower sprigs that come with a stamp, die, and matching stencils. You gotta love that! :) I used only one of the flower sprigs to create this CAS birthday card. Stamped the flowers in black ink and heat embossed in black before watercolouring with distress inks (Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint). I have used these colours before with this image ... they just seem perfect to me, so why change it??!! :)
I used a sweet die-cut rectangle frame with stitched lines (AliExpress) to cut my aperture. I stamped the sentiment (Super Day - Penny Black) on the card front and then popped it up over top of my card base. I tucked the flowers into the aperture.

Sweet, sweet card Loll and I know the recipient will think so too! And those colors really are perfect for that stamp set...sooooo pretty! And a very happy birthday to you too my friend...I hope you're having a wonderful day and eating some cake too! Hugs. :0)
What a gorgeous card for your friend's daughter Loll, and I love the way you have tucked the flower sprig under the edge of that very pretty stitched aperture and looks perfect popped up. x
A beautiful card, Loll. The design is especially appealing.
How beautiful Loll - I have that die, (although I can't remember the make off hand, and I have feline purr-alysis at the moment)
Love how you have placed the single sprig coming out of the aperture.
Blessings

Love this, especially the way you've got the flower emerging from the aperture, so elegant. Hope you had a fab day yesterday. :)
Those flowers look fabulous tucked into the frame Loll, such a clever design, really pretty card, Cathy x
Simply gorgeous! Love it! Cindy H.
CAS perfection, Loll! I love every bit of it!
I agree with your color choice and if it's not broke, don't fix it! It is lovely and tucking inside the frame is sweet. Your friend's daughter will love this.
Beautiful card, Loll! I love the flowers emerging from the stitched opening! Sue N

Love the way the flowers come out of the opening! That adds so much interest to a CAS card!
Wonderful CAS card love that framing also
The colors are so soft and pretty, Loll! Love everything about this CAS card!!!
Absolutely stunning card! I love the flowers coming out of frame!
Wow, stunning flowers Loll, I'm sure your friend loves the card ♥
That stitched frame and beautifully colored floral sprig work so well together, Lolly! I'm sure Leisa loved it for her birthday - and happy birthday to you, as well!🎂 Thank you for linking again to the I.D.E.A.S. gallery!📌Hugs, Dolly
Another absolutely stunning card Loll - the flowers and frame are just gorgeous xx
We do tend to gravitate towards proven color combinations don't we, Loll. This stem is lovely and I love it peeking through the stitched frame.
These flowers are so pretty and I LOVE how they pop out of the frame! I'm sure she is delighted with this!
You're so right, perfection does not need a change-up! The stem is gorgeous, and I too love the colors -- I'm going to make sure they're in my stash
This is a very special card which I'm sure Leisa loved and appreciated! Those flowers are so pretty tucked into the frame. Lovely and CAS and very sweet!
A wonderful birthday card. So delicate and very feminine. I love these sweet flowers, they are so beautifully colored.. The sewn window perfectly displays the bouquet.
hugs,
