Birthday Wishes

Welcome to my final post of the day to announce the latest challenge over at ATSM.
This week our theme is

CAS

So just keep it clean and simple!
Here is my card.


I've used a couple of challenges to get my mojo focused and used my new Altenew 'Remenber This' set for the flowers. A MB leaf die in gold provides the foliage. I stamped the flowers and embossed in clear EP before painting with a mixture of DIs in watercolour style.
After fussy cutting the blooms, I arranged them on the foliage and added a tag greeting from LOTV.
The top half of my panel was embossed using an very old EF to add a little more interest, the bottom half was then popped up on pads.


This week we are sponsored by the lovely Shery at STAMPlorations.who is offering a prize of 2 digis.


Founded in June 2013, California-based STAMPlorations™ is owned and managed by husband-and-wife team, David & Shery Russ. From just a handful of stamps, we now have 100+ stamp designs, 4 stamp designers, our exclusive line of stencils, and 20 amazing crafters spread across 3 teams who constantly produce gorgeous projects featuring our products. Our clear stamps are perfect for creating CAS, one layer, and mixed media cards, and they can be combined to create a variety of paper crafts. All of our stamps are proudly made in the USA. Our clear stamps are made from the finest, non-yellowing photopolymer resin. Through our stamp line, we hope to encourage crafters of all ages and
