Happiness Blooms with Love What You Do
Seems I used a lot of stamp sets; Love What You Do, Incredible Like You, Well Said in creating this card plus the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP)
My design comes from Freshly Made Sketches. At first, I thought what can I do with this sketch and then it just all seemed to come together and the card turned out to be rather pretty.
My card starts with a Whisper White Thick card base.
The card base is embossed using the Subtles Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF).
Flowers are fussy cut from a panel of the Happiness Blooms DSP. They are adhered to the Subtles embossed card front using Liquid Glue and Mini Stampin Dimensionals.
A 2″ x 4-1/4″ panel of the Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper is cut and adhered across the bottom of the card base covering the tip ends of the flowers.
There are four cuts of the Happy from a panel of the DSP like the panel used at the bottom. A piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet is adhered to the back of the panel so when the cuts were made it would be easier to adhere them together. By having four adhered together it gives a bit of dimension to the word. The same was done for the word Birthday only it was cut from a panel of Calypso Coral card stock.
Three sequins from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequin package is scattered on the card front.
The inside sentiment from the Incredible Like You Stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral ink on a panel of Whisper White that has been trimmed with a section of the same DSP used on the card front. Flowers are from the Love What You Do stamp set is stamped in Calypso Coral and Call Me Clover ink.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you like my card. Have a blessed day!

The flowers are a two step process and from the stamp set Incredible Like You (available January 3), This technique is something I have never tried before. It took me practice and three tries before I finally was able to think this piece was acceptable. As always practice makes perfect, so I must try it again to see the results. You stamp the darkest color first or that is the way I did it and then you stamp the lightest color, stamping off once to make the color lighter. The color is Lovely Lipstick, but to me it looks more like Cherry Cobbler. The art piece is now adhered to the Basic Black mat using Liquid Glue and a length of Pear Pizzazz 3/8″ ribbon is wrapped around the art piece. This is now adhered to the embossed panel using Liquid Glue. 
The greeting is stamped in Lovely Lipstick on a scrap of Whisper White, then cropped using the Layering Oval Framelits Dies. It is popped over the ribbon in the lower right corner of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. A tiny butterfly is cut using one of the butterflies from the Butterfly Gala stamp set (available January 3). A pearl from the Share What You Love Artisan Pearl pack is glued to the butterfly. A Glue Dot is used to adhere to the card front. Three pearls from the same pack are adhered to the upper right corner.
