Painted Poppies Birthday

 Hello and welcome back! Here's my second card for today:

This design was inspired by the challenges at Freshly Made Sketches and Just Add Ink.

I created a mat with some cardstock and DSP, diecutting the oval out of the DSP before adhering it. It gives the effect of matting the other die-cut oval without adding an extra layer. I also ran the mat through with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder for some added texture. The flowers were stamped in Garden Green and colored with Stampin' Blends to match the inspiration photo. I added some bling with 3 Opal Rounds.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
