Avant-Garden, Happy Happenings, Birthday Card

I thought I would play with a doily after seeing a card on Pinterest.  I thought it was pretty so I wanted to play with the layout.  

I used Whisper White for the base of my card.  I used Perfect Plum for the layer.  And the new "Falling Hearts" embossing folder.  I thought it would look pretty on this card. I do like how the background looks.

I took a piece of ribbon and taped it to the back of the Perfect Plum piece Then I taped the doily in place.  I stamped the flower from the "Avant-Garden" Sale a Bration set using Perfect Plum ink.  I layered it with Old Olive to go with the Old Olive stem on the flower.

The words are from the "Happy Happenings" set and layered them with Old Olive too. I set the words in place with Dimensionals.  It's a very simple and quick card to put together.

Thank you SO much for stopping by today,
Wanda

I love your ideas on this card, food for thought. I hope you don't mind if I copy some of your elements in a card of my own? Thanks again. xx

DOILIES ARE ALWAYS A SMART ADDITION TO CERTAIN CARDS, THE BLENDED COLORS ARE WONDERFUL CHOICES. TOGETHER YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL COMBINATION FOR YOUR CARD.
