Silk Florals Birthday Card

Another card I made using old silk florals from my stash.
See yesterdays post for another card and matching topiary
with hand painted ombre pot made with the same flowers.

Although it looks quite bulky, it actually isn't.
The flower elements squished flat

into the envelope and fit well since I removed
all of the thick plastic pieces from the backs of them.

I included a top piece of scrap card stock

inside the envelope so there wasn't really any bulky parts

poking through that required extra postage on it. 
When I take my cards to the post office to mail them,
the postal clerk seems to always require me to buy 
an extra stamp for my cards since they have 
a little bump that requires hand cancellation. 

SUPPLIES:

white and two shades of pink card stock

vellum to stamp sentiment on

rubber stamp

black ink

Texturz plate - polka dot background

PearlEx paint - used on polka dots and flowers

scallop edge border punch

1/8" handheld circle punch - holes on punched border

scoring board -created raised line on punched border

silk florals and greenery

tiny yellow rhinestones -to replace bulky flower centers
low temp glue gun - to adhere flowers and leaves

Thanks for looking :)
