One can never have enough birthday cards, so for my card today I decided to create a layered floral card using the Japanese Peony bloom.

I began by stamping out the peony 3 times onto a piece of Bristol paper. I then colored the peony in using the pastel Marvy Le Plume II markers starting with the bottom layer and working my way to what would become the top layer. I only added shadowing detail to the image if it was going to be seen.  Once the coloring was done, I die cut the bottom (leaf layer) using the coordinating die, and the rest of the layers I fussy cut and inked the edges using a black marker. I then stacked the layers of the peony onto each other using foam tape to pop up the flower and then set that aside to work on the card base.

Next, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Halftone Dots Cover die. Then using some of the openings of the dots as references, I added random color just below where some of the openings would be. Then I added some glimmer paste to the entire cardstock piece and once it was dry I glued the Halftone Dots Cover onto it and adhered it to the front of the card base.

To frame the card, I added the frame from the Dotted Pattern Loops Die and then glued the Japanese layered Peony to the left of the card. To the right, I added the best and ever script dies from the Best Ever Coordinating Dies using a silver foiled cardstock. And, to finish off the sentiment I stamped out the Birthday sentiment from Kobi the Birthday Bear stamp set and glued it onto another piece of foil cardstock that I trimmed to size. I then finished off the card from by adding some Summer Fusion sequins in some of the openings of the Halftone die and added white gel pen detailing to the bloom.

On the inside of the card, I added a sentiment from the Birthday Greetings set and stamped out the bloom in the bottom corner using the marker tip to add ink to the stamp.

If you have already started on the Hop, you would have arrived here from the amazingly talented Yazmin's Blog. I will share where to go next at the end of the post 😉 So let's check out the results of combining products from these two fabulous companies!

CARD DETAILS:

For my card today I chose to use the gorgeous Blooming Bunch floral stamp set. I began by stamping out the image onto watercolor paper and then colored the blooms in using Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens. Once the paper was dry I fussy cut the image out. 

The next thing I did is going to sound a bit crazy... but since I wanted to use WOW! Embossing Glitters today and didn't realize I needed a bonding powder (can you tell I'm still a newbie at this), so I had to figure out a different way to do things. Leave it to me to make things harder! Anyways, my solution was to use a quicky glue pen and trace over the lines of each image that I wanted to add a specific color too. This made it easier to control exactly where I wanted the specific colors of glitter to go. Then I would use my heat gun to melt the glitter and set the glue, which I know your not supposed to do with glitter but it turned out beautifully resulting in a rough glittered texture! 

For the leaves I used Green Glitz, on the orange peony I used Sunset Boulevard, for the roses I used Red Glitz,  and for the yellow peony, I used the Pearl Gold Sparkle Embossing Glitter.

Check out all the pretty sparkly detail!

I then popped this beautiful Blooming Bunch onto a panel I had die cut using the frame from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 Die set and then stenciled on the dots using the Bubbles Stencil. To the bottom right corner, I stamped out the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Birthday Greetings set and then added the hello which was heat embossed in Metallic Gold Rich SF Embossing powder. And that pretty much finishes off this sparkly card!
