Floral birthday

Good Morning all, i hope you had a good weekend.  

Can you believe its a fortnight gone again and time for a new challenge at

Make My Monday

The theme this time is:

A Hint of Summer to Come

I found a lovely summery floral paper with blue cornflowers in my stash to go with.  I picked out co-ordinating cardstock and dies to go with.

5.5 x 7" white cardblank.  I first stamped my sentiment direct onto the cardfront and then die cut my pattern paper with a MFT edge die, layered it onto blue cardstock cut with the same edge die,  i added this to the cardfront with foam tape. 

I made up a cornflower using my old Tonic cornflower die and added a button centre.  I die cut different foliage from orange and yellow cardstock to pick up on them in the paper.  Ive had the Sue Wilson foliage die years but its such a pain to cut cleanly that i rarely use it but its perfect with this paper. 

I added a thin strip of blue to the top edge and 3 yellow buttons to finish. 

Exactly the same details as the first one but just reversed with the paper at the bottom and white linen card on top.  

Hopefully summer will arrive soon and i have lots of beautiful flowers in the garden!  So if you fancy joining our challenge or just want to see what the rest of the DT came up with and all the amazing entries, please do hop over to
