Awhile back, Loll sent me a PPP Peonies stencil, and I thought it was only fitting to use this stencil to make her a birthday card. I'm not a real fan of the regular size slimline cards (too big for me), but I do LOVE the mini slimline card size (6 1/2 x 6 1/4 scored in half on the 6 1/2 side), and this stencil worked beautifully for this size card!
I used the stencil to make a background for my card, plus one extra flower and leaves to use for decoration, and then die cut my background layers and the center layers using Gina K's Master Layouts #7. My background was lightly ink blended with the leftover pink ink on my blending brush, and then I added a bit more pink ink for the decorative pink flower and just a touch of orange ink for the center of the flower...I know Loll is like me in that she loves pinks and oranges together!!
My sentiment was hot foiled using silver Prism foil and Spellbinders February 2022 Glimmer of the Month Anytime Glimmer Sentiments. I finished off my card with just a touch of bling using Gina K's Disco Ball Sequins and a black glaze pen for the center dots in the flower.
I hope you know how special you are to ALL of us Loll, and that you have a wonderful birthday filled with everything you hold most dear. And cake!! Happy, happy birthday my dear friend!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
Such a lovely card to help Loll celebrate her birthday, Marcia. I love how you stenciled an additional flower to cut and add on top.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Marcia - certainly a special card for a special gal! And if Loll likes pinks with oranges, that makes her extra A-OK with me!
