Tropical Flower Duo Birthday Card

My creative mojo is definitely lacking at the moment so I turned to the SU! 2021 - 2022 annual catalogue for inspiration. A card on page 21 caught my eye and it appealed mainly because it has pretty colours but also due to the simple layout which means quick and easy to make!  I find it so helpful to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) a card when my mojo is missing and it was great to spend some crafty time in my stamp room!  Here's my card and envelope together.


Here's my card.  I've changed a few small details to make the design my own.  The card base is made with Pear Pizzazz CS  and I used paper from the 'Tropical Oasis' DSP pack for the Pool Party strip across the card.  I stamped the flowers in Flirty Flamingo ink onto Basic White CS and then swirled on Flirty Flamingo ink with a blender brush.  I stamped the leaves in Old Olive ink on Pear Pizzazz CS and I stamped the sentiment in Mossy Meadow ink on Flirty Flamingo CS.  The flower leaves and sentiment banner are all popped up.  I added a gold metallic pearl to each flower centre to finish the front.


Here's the inside of the card.


Here's the envelope.
