The Last of the Layered Purple Roses....for a while

I had one last piece of card stock left...

from the 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of layered purple roses that I created the other day....

and thought that I'd put together a fast card with the remaining piece.

(*The roses were stamped with Altenew's Vintage Flowers stamp set)

I heat embossed a Happy Birthday sentiment on a strip of vellum...

chose a deep purple metallic card stock color for a mat layer...

scored a card...

put it all together...

and wha-la...

a birthday card!

The gold embossing on the vellum is always beautiful, I think...

and the vellum is great for the sentiment...because it doesn't hide the beautiful roses.

I've enjoyed creating cards with this layering stamp set...

(*Altenew has many of them...)

The best part was creating the 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of flowers?

Having it ready to go

and then being able to create 4 cards with the cut-to-size pieces that are perfect for card making!

I've got a small piece  of a yellow layered/stamped floral on hand from a prior project...

and am thinking that I'll create a card with that as well...

You've seen lots of purple from me lately...

yellow will be a nice change of pace!

Thanks for visiting today....

have a wonderful...and creative day, my crafty pals!

Michelle.
