I stamped the larger and smaller frames using crumb cake ink on cream colored cs and attahed to a kraft card base. Next I die cut the greenery from Old Olive cs and then ink blended a bit of darker green ink to the bases of the leaves. I die cut all the flowers from cream colored cs and then ink blended them with pinks and purples. I added Sparkling Champagne metallic pearls to the pink flower centers and a few in random spots too, and then finished with a sentiment using Spellbinders Everyday Sentiments II that were foiled in gold on kraft cs.
Card number 2 is the same except for the flowers being in pinks and oranges and the sentiment being "Just A Note". I love, LOVE pinks and oranges together...one of my favorite color combos!!
Card #3 was done using peach and yellows for the flowers and the sentiment is "Thanks A Bunch".
Card #4 was done with a rainbow of colors on the flowers, and the sentiment is simply "Birthday Wishes".
I wish I had thought to take a picture of all 4 cards together...they really do make a lovely set of cards and I think my friend is going to be tickled! Although I stamped the frames on these cards (I didn't want to add anymore bulk than there already is with the flowers), there is coordinating dies for the frames, and I think this set is going to be a staple in my supplies!
There is lots of beautiful inspiration from the DT over at the Double D and you can find it all right HERE. This challenge is open till Sunday, June 15th @ 8:00PM.

Marcia, I can't imagine this little bundle of cards not bringing joy to your friend's birthday! She will appreciate all the time you've spent making them - and so do I! What a great frame - I think the crumb cake ink was the perfect choice for stamping as it draws attention to your gorgeous bouquets of many colors just beautifully!
