This card almost put itself together after I was flicking through the beautiful images of the Serene Scenery DSP stack. This paper made me think of how as children we would blow these seeds off the heads and then make a wish. And since with the cupcake cutouts framelits, I now have the ability to die cut the word wish, it just had to be done.

I cut the DSP to 4 by 5 1/4 inches because I didn’t need any extra layers – they just didn’t do anything but look fussy. I’ve used cajun craze for the card base even though it isn’t officially in the stack but it worked with the centres of the dandelions and it set off the warmth of the photo beautifully. I obviously used the same colour for the stamping (the sentiment is from the matching Sweet Cupcake set) and the die cut. Just make sure you don’t lose the dot over the i if you’re intending to add it to your card. No, I didn’t – but almost!

Since this is a birthday card, I dry embossed the flap with lucky stars. Seems to fit somehow. And I didn’t have enough left from my DSP sheet because I cut it down oddly – I ended up with many strips trimmed off. But this works.

See you tomorrow,
