The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Stamp Set.  I also used the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder, Stampin’ Blends, and a mask from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks now retired.  I did not have the mask Frenchie used, this is a CAS of her card.

 The Seize the Birthday Challenge has a theme of Embossing for this challenge, as I have an embossed background, I am entering this challenge.

The Watercooler Wednesday Challenge has Dawn’s theme of All About Occasions for this challenge and since birthdays are usually a big occasion, I am joining it also.

My card base is Merry Merlot card stock with a Basic White card stock background piece that has been masked using Merry Merlot ink and a Blending Brush. The art piece has the same after the image from Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia is stamped in Merry Merlot ink.  It makes for a beautiful image.

A Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends Marker along with a Calypso Coral and Just Jade Stampin’ Blends is used to color the flowers and leaves.  The Happy Birthday greeting is stamped in Merry Merlot ink at the bottom of the art piece. 

Once all the coloring is finished the art piece is matted on a piece of Merry Merlot card stock and popped on the background panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment panel is stamped with the image from the art piece that had been stamped off twice. The sentiment is one of the images from the Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia Stamp Set.

A medium Basic White envelope gets the same flower on the card front stamped to the envelope flap and colored in the same colors.

If you would like to create this card all the products used are at the end of this post.
