Cheerful Daisies Happy Birthday Card - Creative Colour Challenges #CCC168

 Good Afternoon Everyone,

Today I'm sharing a card I made for Creative Colour Challenges #CCC168. I did make this last week in plenty of time to post into the challenge when it was live, but life got in the way and I didn't get the chance - so i thought i'd post it here anyway, I think its a lovely card that should be shared! haha

I absolutely love the mix of Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly and Crumb Cake. I've used the Cheerful Daisies Bundle, but with these colours these flowers look a little like sunflowers rather than daisies. 

What do you think?

Measurements

Pecan Pie Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", scored at 5 7/8"

-----------------------------------------

Take the Pecan Pie card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base. Ink up the leaf image in Pecan Pie ink and cover the whole of the card front. Make sure you cover the edges well as that is what will be seen as the middle will be covered with the next layer.

Add the larger piece of Basic White card stock to the inside.

On the remaining piece of Basic White stamp the flowers to cover the full piece. I used Pecan Pie for the outline and the centres and Lemon Lolly for the petals.

Layer this to the Crumb Cake mat and then add to the centre of the card front.

Cut out a Hexagon from Crumb Cake card stock using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch and then using a blending brush add some ink around the edges.

Bring in your Stampin Cut & Emboss machine and cut of the label shape from the Cheerful Dies.

Stamp the sentiment into the centre in Pecan Pie ink. Add this to the Hexagon punch out. it fits perfectly edge to edge, so take a bit of time to get it line up well.

Add this to the card front with dimensionals.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - I had a lot of fun creating it. I love the design with these colours, but I think it would work with so many other combinations.
