Did you ever go through your stash and discover a stamp set of unknown origin? As usual, I had a few die cut leftovers from my previous card. Actually, they were rejects. I cut them and then decided not to use them. Instead, I found a home for them on this card but I needed the right stamp. And this flower, from a Bo Bunny stamp set that I don't even remember having, turned out to be perfect.
I stamped the flowers on gold card stock and then tipped the edges with gold Wink of Stella before fussy cutting two of them, one for the bottom and one to pop on top. I added the tiny twine bow, which I never would have been able to tie without my Craft-Dee Bowz maker. Since I had embossed the background already I didn't know what to do about adding a sentiment. I pulled out my little Taylored Expressions sentiment stamps and carefully added the Happy Birthday. I can't believe I got it straight.Challenges:
