Birthday Wishes- Demure with Die-cut

I created another card using Penny Black's Demure stamp. I love this stamp so much that I feel like creating all sort of cards using it. So, you might spot it again in my future posts.

Die-cut circle is the highlight and an added element from a previsions version of this card. I stamped and colored the image on a white card-stock with Spectrum Noir Marks this time. Later, I painted them over with matching pearlescent colors for additional shine.

 I die-cut the biggest circle pattern of Spellbinders' Splendid circle dies from another white card-stock. I love this delicate die-cut pattern. The central uncut area of this die-cut circle matches with 3" circle die. So, I used a 3" circle die to draw a circle on the stamped panel in a way that when hand-cut around the drawn 3" circle some part of each flower overhang.

Then, I attached the die-cut circle behind the hand-cut flower panel. To highlight the beautiful die-cut design, I cut 3.5" stitched circle in matching red card-stock and stuck it over the card base. Stamped image with the white die-cut circle are popped up with foam adhesive for added dimension.

Lastly, I stamped a birthday sentiment on vellum, I stuck it over a very thin white banner style strip to block flower stems from showing through and attached it to the front.
