April Showers bring May Flowers...

It's been a while since I completed a challenge so I'm way overdue. It's Spring even though flowers are scarce around here in New England, but they hopefully will be blooming in the next week or two!

I decided to use Lawn Fawn's new quilted backdrop which, if you have used this die, is a bit of a pain to get all those little dots out. I actually used the drier sheet method to die cut this piece and it worked perfectly with no cursing involved! I used Tranquil Tide against the Whisper White so the color would pop threw the holes on the quilted die.

To make the flowers pop I used some white embossing powder against both the cardstock and DSP. Then used popdots and rhinestones to add dimension and bling. Then embossed the happy birthday banner to tie it all together.

I hope you enjoy this card and visit again soon.
