It's time for another birthday card.
Apothecary Art is so handy to make a quick and sophisticated card. Using the Labels Collection Framelits to cut out my shape is an added bonus to ramp up the card. In addition to cutting out my sentiment, I also used it to cut the same shape in the front of the card. to make a window.
The image was stamped twice with Memento Black Ink. The flowers in the first one were colored with Blendabilities. All I used from the second image was the sentiment. I fussy cut it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The remaining front of my card was then embossed with the Spring Flowers Textured Impressions Folder found in the Occasions Catalog. I am finding this folder goes with many floral images. Definitely a keeper!
An Elegant Eggplant strip of c.s. is embossed with the Fancy Fan Folder for added contrast. It is adorned with a flower from the Pansy Punch that has been spritzed with water, scrunched up, and a few layers peeled back to produce a suede look. The Petite Petal Punch was used to punch the flower used for the center. A sweet Pearl adds the finishing touch.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Sadly, both the Apothecary Arts Stamp Set & the Labels Framelits Collection are retiring. If you want them, then please don't wait. Get them before they are gone and only available on ebay for an outlandish price. Click the shop now button at the top of the page to go to my Online Store.

Wow, this is a beautiful card! The lucky person who gets this card!
Who would think that eggplant goes with melon? Maybe not culinary-wise but it sure looks gorgeous here! I love the flowers put together with the pearl in the middle – crowning touch to a royal card! I agree with Marjorie – that person who receives this card must be one lucky person! The coloring is just perfect. Love the EF you used too. Well done my friend!
