STAMPIN' UP! SECRET GARDEN BIRTHDAY

It's my mother-in-law's birthday today, so I thought I'd share with you the card I made her.  I try to incorporate yellow flowers on her birthday cards, as they're her favourites.

I white-embossed three gorgeous blooms from the Secret Garden stamp set, on vellum.  There's a matching framelits die to make cutting out of the flowers a breeze.  Using sponge daubers, I coloured the reverse side of the flowers with Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry ink.  Such a pretty way to colour vellum flowers; I was inspired by the always-beautiful creations of my friend Nikki.
