Flower Soft Birthday - Splitcoaststampers IC172

Woohoo!  Today I finally got to play in a Splitcoaststampers Inspiration Challenge.  It has been such a long time.  The inspiration was to come from one of several little girls’ dresses by Little Daisy Designs.  Here is the dress I used as my inspiration.

I used the  Flower Soft Box Set “Pretty Pots Starter Kit” to make a quick and fun birthday card.  There are several sentiments in the kit that come printed on a good quality card stock to cut out as desired.  The butterflies and leaves framing the sentiment were also printed.  All I had to do was apply a little of the Flower Soft glue (included in the “Pretty Pots Starter Kit”) and sprinkle on some Baby Blue and Baby Pink Flower Soft.  I also added a little Stickles right on top of the Flower Soft to give the frame some sparkle.

Here’s something to try.. emboss the flap on the envelope.  I used the Cuttlebug Frill’s embossing folder on the card and also on the flap.  Wouldn’t this be fun for a wedding card or invite, too?!

    So soft and beautiful! I love the idea of adding the Flower Soft to the border, and your envelope flap is a nice addition to the package. Someone is going to be a very lucky recipient. ;)

    I’m slapping myself on the forehead wondering why it never occured to me to emboss envelope flaps! LOL TFS that great tip, and your card is so cute! I never would have thought to add sparkle to flowersoft either, but what a great look that is! Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration Susan :)
