A Way with Words - Happy Birthday

I've recently gotten into making Elizabeth Craft Design Susan's Garden flowers.  So relaxing to bend and form the die cuts into pretty flowers.  Here's one I made using the Garden Notes - Forsythia, Shasta Daisy and Frosty Fern.

To make the Forsythia, I colored 110lb Soft-Finish Cardstock with a Y06 Copic, and the center of the flower is dabbed with a G40.  The branch is E33.  The Shasta Daisy centers are colored with a Y15 Copic and I added some yellow pollin.  The leaves on the daisy are colored with YG17, G82, and G85.  The fern is colored with a G43 and G47, and the very tips are dabbed with a white acrylic paint marker.

The background is made with Distress Oxide inks in Peacock Feathers, Fossilized Amber and Peeled Paint.  The sentiment is also from Elizabeth Craft Designs from the "A Way with Words" collection.  I die cut the circle frame around the sentiment with a couple Dashing Circles Dies and cut the card front out with a Dashing Rectangle.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Craftily yours,

Karen
