Hello and welcome to a new challenge over at

Always Fun Challenge #146

Our theme this week is 

USE YOUR FAVORITE STAMP

So since I love flowers and I used a similar stamp set last week I thought what the heck it's flowers and so a favorite and this is a new way of using. Fussy cutting the flowers out and stamping the leaves but not coloring them. This stamp set is from Simon Says. The happy birthday is from Paper Trey ink. I have always loved this stamps and this large HB is awesome. I colored the flowers with copics, fussy cut out. I used Stampin up green ink and stamped the leaves. They are hard to see but you get that something is there. I then stamped the sentiment on the orange card stock and added to the green card stock. I added this to the card front with some foam dots. I added the flowers and behind the top and bottom areas I added foam dots but the part under the sentiment is adhered straight down to the card front. I finished with some Sequins and Nuvo drops and Spectrum Noir sparkle brush.
