Happiness Abounds Birthday

Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

I used the theme challenge at SUO Challenges, the sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches, and the color challenge at Sunday Stamps as inspiration for this card.

For the flowers, I created a wash on watercolor paper with Gorgeous Grape, and for the leaves I used Old Olive. Once the paper was dry, I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut them. The front panel is dry embossed and layered onto a Calypso Coral background. I added a few of the Iridescent Basic Pearls for some bling.

 Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
