Happy Birthday Simon Says Stamp!

Wednesday Challenge

Welcome.

I hope you are having a great day. It was fun to post this today for Simon's Birthday because it happens to be my birthday today. 

I started off by stamping the Reverse Polka Dot background  onto a piece of Nina Solar White Cardstock in My favorite Things Cement Ink.


Then I stamped some of the flowers from Simon's Bold Flowers onto a another piece of Nina Solar White Cardstock. I used a variety of Stampin' Up! inks and went back and stamped a second time on the leaves with a darker color to give them more dimension.


I do not have the coordinating die for this set, so I fussy cut them out. I attached my polka dot panel to a piece of Strathmore Toned Gray paper and also a piece of Nina cardstock so that the card would not be flimsy.



I used some press and seal after I had figured out my placement to pick up the arrangement. I find it helpful to add something to the top of the press and seal so as you are moving the bottom layer off, you still have a reference to the top of the paper.


I used Tombo permanent Tape runner to adhere the inside of the leaves and curled up the outer edges of the leaves.


I added one layer of foam tape to the next layer of flowers and then two layers to the last two center flowers and curved the edges of these as well. I stamped my sentiment from Simon's "Birthday 
Messages" onto a piece of Nina Cardstock and layered it onto a black piece of cardstock. I cut the end banner style on the right, and straight on the left and adhered it to the card. I added some Wink Of Stella to the centers of the flowers.



That completes this Birthday card.

adding pinterest script 3. Changing the Position of the Pin it! button The cool thing about this code is that you have some freedom over where the Pinterest button for Blogger will go over the image. Take a look at the code that you just copied and pasted into the HTML for the word 'center'.
