Becky's Compose a Card Challenge #2

Time for Becky's challenge again. Here's this week's Compose a Card Challenge.

Here's my card. All the stamps I used are from Papertrey Ink. I stamped the Turning a New Leaf images in Spring Moss. I punched out the tiny flowers using Stampin' Ups 3-flower punch using the colored cardstock listed in the challenge. I used the flower image from the Limitless Labels set and stamped it in the three colors. I didn't have Summer Sun ink so I used Stampin' Ups Pumpkin Pie.  For the sentiment, I used the birthday greeting from Birthday Basics.  The score lines are a bit difficult to see, but they are at every 1/4 inch.

I was lucky to find one flower button that matched the colors. I sewed each button to the card with twine. This kept the buttons more flush with the card.  

I used the same elements from the front of the card to decorate the inside.

One of my daughter's daycare provider is leaving tomorrow so she can work closer to home. I am planning on giving her this scrapbook that I made from a kit by SEI. The colors matched the colors from the card challenge. So, while I was making this card, I thought it would be perfect to give it to her along with the scrapbook.

In my excitement of making the card, I'd forgotten my plans to give is as a "good luck" card and used the "happy birthday" sentiment instead. So, I had to improvise. I used the Borders and Corners: Rectangle dotted border stamp to outline the sentiment. The sentiment is from Mega Mixed Messages. I cut out the image and taped it to a rectangle scallop that I punched out with my Marvy punch. Voila! It covered the original sentiment. 

Thanks for visiting!
