Hope your Wednesday has been as much fun as mine! I got to play in my craft room working on a birthday card for a friend's birthday coming up on the 7th of January. I'll be dropping it in the mail tomorrow so she can get it on her special day! I pulled out a new stamp set I treated myself to a few months ago but hadn't inked up yet! Love the long shape of the floral image! It is perfect for making a pretty slimline card. After coloring the floral image with alcohol markers, I fussy cut it out. I stamped the floral design on a white #10 envelope too and colored it to match. I added yellow Stickles to the centers of some of the flowers for extra sparkle and dazzle. Here is a close-up so you can see the sparkle a little better.
I used a patterned paper from my stash (or hoard of papers) which looks like a inky splatter. Got the look without the mess...wink. I stamped and matted the sentiment to put above the floral image using foam tape for added dimension. Added my signature bow to the upper left corner plus three green "dew drops" in lower right corner. Now it was time to work on the inside of the card.....
I'm going to link this floral slimline birthday card at the following challenges:

Oh, you fooled me. I thought that you splattered the background yourself. It looks great no matter how it was done. Love the spray of flowers used so well on your card and the envelope. Thanks for sharing it with us at Double D Challenge.
