Petite Pansies – Birthday Wishes

Welcome to Sunday and the newest Paper Players (#708) challenge.  This week, Joanne has presented us with a really cool sketch.

What to do with it?  Influences…Seize The Birthday (#291) to add Stripes; Creative Colours (#159) which just brought lovely yellow and purple Pansies to my mind, so I picked a favorite retired stamp set – Petite Pansies for The Flower Challenge (#95) asking for a stamped Floral image.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Gorgeous Grape cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5⅛” x 3⅞”) Basic White cardstock dry-embossed with the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder.
• Vertical Panel: (2” x 3⅞”) Shy Shamrock Striped patterned piece of paper from the 2024/2026 In-Color Collection Designer Series Paper pack.
• Wedge: (3½” x 1⅜”) Daffodil Delight cardstock cut on the diagonal to the (⅜”) mark.
  • The sentiment, Birthday Wishes, from the Petite Pansies stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
  • The Wedge was then dry-embossed with my favorite retired Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.
• Focal Image – Pansy Bouquet: (2” x 2½”) Basic White cardstock scrap.
  • The Pansies were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and allowed to set/dry.
  • Using the Fine-Tipped Water Painter Brush and inks, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape and Shy Shamrock, picked up from the Ink Pad Lids, the image was water-colored.
  • Once dry, the Bouquet was fussy-cut with Paper Snips.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch and the Pansy Bouquet was popped up with Dimensionals.

I like how fresh and clean this card turned out to be.  A pretty little Birthday card.
