Fall Wishes - Stampin' Up!® Delightful Wishes

   I am thrilled to be joining the As You See It challenge today as a guest designer for the newest challenge!  It's such an honor to be asked and I get so much inspiration from challenges and other stampers that of course I want to try to pay it forward.  It's a fun recipe challenge this time around so you need to use each of the 5 "ingredients" listed below on your card.  I can't wait to see what you make!

  I had fun putting my card together and pulling out some older supplies that fit my vision!  I used the Delightful Wishes bundle for my flowers and I have to say that I wish forsythia actually came in orange because it would be stunning!  Like maybe yellow for the spring bloom and then the oranges come out for a second fall bloom?  Horticulturists let's get on that right?!!

  I wanted my orange flowers to pop so I used a darker background with a piece of Gathering Together DSP in an Early Espresso pattern.  For my frame ingredient I went literal and die cut a frame out of retired Distressed Gold paper with the Gallery Blooms dies. 

  For the flowers I used Timid Tiger and Cajun Craze for the two step stamps.  Once they were cut out I added them to a Pecan Pie branch and popped the whole thing up on dimensionals over the frame.

  The 'happy' sentiment is the happy birthday in the Delightful Wishes stamp set.  I shortened the sentiment and the die cut for a more petite greeting and added it to the card with dimensionals.

  Finally a few more blooms at the corner of the frame and some gold sequins finish the details on this fall birthday card.

  Thanks so much for having me this week As You See It challenge!  Check out the rest of the awesome Design Team samples and then make one of your own to add to the gallery!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
