Happy Birthday!






Happy Sunday!  I finally had a chance to get crafty yesterday once my new PTI goodies arrived in the mail.  Once I saw the Out For Delivery on the USPS tracking, I rushed to get all   most  some of my house cleaning done so I could play once my package arrived. 



I decided to play with the tulips first.  I must say that I am loving this set!  I am playing along with a couple of blog challenges so the tulips worked beautifully.   I die cut and stamped the tulips using corals and golds to comply with the Inspired By All the Little Things: Inspiration Photo.  I gold embossed the sentiment.   I added a piece of gold foiled card stock to the bottom of the panel using Scallop Square Tag to comply with this week's Freshly Made Sketches.  





I still felt like the tulips needed a little something to help them pop off of the white linen background.  I decided to gold emboss three times the smaller Feather Finery dotted images.  I love how the images peek out from the tulips.  I think it balances the whole card perfectly. I used some fun foam to pop up the white linen panel onto a vintage cream card base to look more like the cake layers.




As always thanks so much for stopping by!
