Beautiful Day

Birthday's are special days to remember those who are dear to us. I have some special people in my life who have birthday's during the month of January. I thought about using winter scenes but decided to CASE a card that I saw on Pinterest a few days ago and use my new stamp set from Altenew again. It is called "Beautiful Day".

The layout of this card is pretty much like the one I saw on Pinterest. The flower is different and I used a different butterfly. Here is a link to the original card --Scrappin' and Stampin' in GJ. I didn't realize how many different stamp sets I had used until I was starting to write everything down. Below the pictures, I have listed all the stamp sets used.

Stamp sets used--
Altenew  -- "Beautiful Day"
Stampin' Up -- Simply Sketched, Kinda Eclectic, Papillon Potpourri, Just Believe
Sweet and Sassy Stamps -- "Sunshine and Flowers"

Note on the butterfly --  I stamped the image onto So Saffron card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added some additional color using my copic markers to the center of the butterfly.  After punching the butterfly out, I covered the image with a glue pen and dipped the image into my glitter.

A New Stamp Set

Earlier this month I received a new stamp set "Beautiful Day" from Altenew. I started playing with this set a few days ago. I finally got my birthday card finished using this set along with numerous other sets from my collection.

After practicing on several flowers this is the final card.

Because the flowers are so large, I made my card 5 1/2 x 5 1/2-inches. I found a 12 x 12-inch sheet of paper that was the perfect color to go with my Pool Party card. I used the masking technique on the two pink flowers when adding the leaves. The center flower was stamped on a separate piece of card stock and cut out.

This flower has several parts and each was stamped using a different color ink. The outlines were stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black. The pink flowers were stamped using SU Blushing Bride and Primrose Petals ink.The center flower was stamped using SU Soft Sky and Pool Party inks. The leaves were stamped with Memento New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves colors.

The verse was from Our Daily Bread Designs set called "Happy Birthday". This was the first set I purchased from ODBD.  The inside verse was from Unity Stamps set "Butterflies and Sunbeams".

I love creating flowers so I expect that this will be one of my favorite sets. I hope to acquire some more sets in the near future.

Have a wonderful day.
