Sending Birthday Wishes with Bonnie Garby

Hi there everyone.  It's Bonnie from Make Time to Craft here with you today.  I'm sharing a feminine floral birthday card today featuring some fabulous dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

When I auditioned the beautiful Sakura Flower die on a plain white background, it was too 'blah'.  A patterned background was too busy.  What to do.....  Well, I went with a white on white background for a subtle textured look.  It gives some interest without competing with the flower.  I just love this look.  I simply cut a Lattice piece in white cardstock and adhered it to a white piece of cardstock.  Then I added the floral die cut on that.

Cheery Lynn Dies used:

FR-16 Lattice #1

B776 Sakura Flower

XM-7 Oval

I added some pretty white mulberry paper as my last layer before the card base to soften the look of the card.  My bi-color double-loop bow was made with Hot Pink and Pearl Pink Delicate Stitched Satin from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I created the bow on my Bow-it-All V3.0.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Don't forget, there will be a brand new Pretty in Purple themed challenge starting tomorrow.  We'd love to have you enter for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate to Cheery Lynn Designs.
