This week was Betsy’s birthday, and her main gift was a gift certificate. I used one of the Fancy Pants envelopes in the April Simon Says kit to create a card for her. This turned out to be one of my favorite cards created with the kit.
Using the patterned papers from the kit, I die cut the flower with Papertrey Ink’s “Beautiful Blooms 1” and the leaves with “Tender Leaves” by Memory Box. I love the way the leaves are embossed at the same time they are die cut. The button from MME “Follow My Heart” wasn’t in the kit, but was just the perfect center for the flower and I threaded it with a thin black ribbon. The border was another of the patterned papers and a bit of black cardstock. The sentiment came from “Birthday Basics” by Papertrey Ink.
I’m linking this up to Simon Says “Anything Goes” and to CASual Friday’s Birthday Bash challenge. (That challenge couldn’t have come at a better time for me!)
A beautiful card,Karen…..I love the flower….and it works perfectly with the background.
Oh my gosh I love the combinations of colours and patterns paired with that grey stripe. So lovely
The black really draws out the other colours and makes it all a very satisfying combination!
Who would have guessed that the black would make the other colours pop like this! That is a stunningly put together card….
Love the deep colors and patterns in the flowers.

Take care and have a wonderful week!
