This card just sort of happened.  The Country Flora embossing folder is one of the freebies ($50 purchase required) available in the second release of Sale-A-Bration.  When mine arrived,  I wondered what it would look like if the flowers were colored, so I used sponge daubers with Lovely Lipstick, Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz ink and sponged the ink on the embossing folder then put it through the Big Shot.  Well… it turned out to be a great looking art panel so I decided to use it for a card.  Then one of our Krew members said her mom was having her 96th birthday and we could send her a card if we wanted too.  I thought a precious lady who has graced her family and friends with that many years needs lots of birthday cards, so I used the beautiful embossed piece to make a card for her.

My inspiration comes from the Inspire Create Challenge for this week.  How appropriate the Theme is Sale-A-Bration freebies and the embossing folder 

The embossed panel with a Polka Dot Tulle ribbon tied in a bow was popped on a Whisper White card base.  Happy Birthday was cut from the Well Said stamp bundle.  The 96 is cut from an old die set.  The card is finished.  Thank you for stopping by today.  The card looks much better and I think beautiful in person.  Hope you can find encouragement and inspiration from it.  There is no inside sentiment to show, I forgot to take a picture and I do hope I put an inside sentiment before mailing to that sweet precious lady.   Have a blessed day.

After my card was made, I was looking at the SAB brochure and it seems I am CAS(E)ing Stampin’ Up’s! sample card.  Had not noticed it before deciding to see what the embossing panel would look like with color.  Great minds think the same!!
