Happy Birthday wishes!

One of my collegues is having a birthday soon so of course I made her a card using this week's sketch from Stampendous. I took this photo at an angle to show the 3-dimensional look of the flower.The flower is first embossed and watercolored. After the entire flower is fussy cut, each petal is cut to the outer edge of the flower's center. Then each petal is rolled around a pencil to give it shape. It is only attached in the center. Rhinestone gems are added to the center. The flower's base is edged with dots using a circle plastic canvas as the guide. I love the look of the my new peacock feather by Stampendous with the flower. What a great prize for winning
an earlier challege. Stampendous challenges are fun, give them a try!

  5. So very pretty Jan! I bought this stamp several years ago but never got around to using it. I am surely going to dig it out this weekend!
