Our challenge this week was to use birthdays as our inspiration. I always need a birthday card so that's what I did!
I started with the Springtime Vintage papers from the Occasions Mini. I used the Lattice Impressions folder to add texture and layered it with a piece of Rose Red, a favorite of mine! I distressed it with lots of Early Espresso ink. I used the matching paper and the Fun Flower Bigz L Die to create a flower as my focal piece. (Can you believe that at first, this die was a maybe on my wishlist? I can't now!) I added more depth by sponging the edges of each layer with Early espresso ink. My card base is Crumb Cake (again!) and I stamped the sentiment from the Create a Cupcake stamp set to finish the card.
Be sure to check out the other players' work below and please play along and create a birthday themed project of your own!

Beautiful! I didn't like that flower punch but as usual it is growing on me. Love this card.
I think the DSP looks fabulous with the embossing -- haven't tried that and will have to. I just ordered this flower die and can't wait to get it -- love the look you got with all that distressing!
