| Bright & cheerful flowers on an elegant background |
I think this card really flirts with being too busy but gets away with it! It's another side step card sample for class.
I used the Whisper White Thick card for the side step card because of its strength.
The flowers and leaves, cut with the Botanical Builder framelits, sit on a background of Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper. I think any bright colour would work for the flowers and leaves or using pastel colours would work well too.
The birthday greeting is from Wetlands and is one of my favourites because it suits so many of my cards. I underlined it with one of the stamps in the Stamp a Bag set.
I put a strip of white card underneath the Calypso Coral ribbon to show it at its best.
The little banner uses a combination of the Banner punch and Bitty Banners framelits and is anchored with a Metal Rimmed Pearl.
