I was inspired by the background in the inspiration piece and immediately thought of this Spellbinders die cut. I die cut the panel, stitched it with purple DMC floss, and layered it onto coordinating purple cardstock.
Since the inspiration featured a beautiful flower, I carried that theme forward by adding several small purple flowers, shaped with a stylist, along with green leaves. I finished them with purple pearls for added detail. These elements frame the birthday sentiment, which is elevated on dimensionals for extra depth.
Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today. I appreciate the lovely comments. If you leave me a comment, I can stop by your blog for a visit.
This is beautiful, I do like seeing your needlework cards, this looks like it must have been time consuming but very worth the time. The colours with the added flowers which put me in mind of Violets very much appeals.
