Delightful Birthday - Stampin' Up! Delightful Wishes

   One of the first signs of spring where I grew up was the forsythia bushes showing off their pretty yellow blossoms so it was fun seeing that the new stamp set Delightful Wishes has a beautiful 2 step stamp showing these spring beauties!  While I used the traditional yellows for my card today this stamp set has a lot of possibilities using many of the colors in the Stampin' Up! collections.

  The more I look at this card the more I feel the need to go back and re-do the sentiment and make it straight!  I didn't notice when I first took the photo but now it's all I see lol!

  I used Pool Party for the card base and created my flower branch to be adhered directly onto the card front.  I die cut the branch in Pecan Pie and then added the flowers.  The flowers are stamped first in Lemon Lolly and then the second layer is the slightly darker Daffodil Delight.  They are all popped on dimensionals.

  The leaves are stamped in Old Olive and then die cut.  I tucked them in around the flowers for added interest.

  The sentiment is stamped in Pool Party and the large 'wishing' is die cut and popped up and then the rest of the sentiment is die cut using the long label die.

  I had fun adding a variety of embellishment first using a bit of retired Pool Party ribbon tied in a knot for the base of the branch.  Next some of the adorable Tiny Bee Trinkets are scattered around.  These are so cute and I just used glue dots to adhere them.  Lastly I added 2 retired Pecan Pie Opaque Faceted Gems to balance the open space under the sentiment.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
