Some Nice Bright Flowers

Today was a very productive day for me!!! I was able to get almost everything done on my "to do" list and still have time to make a video for my YouTube channel.
For some reason I cannot get the video to load for this post but if you would like to watch the video here is a link to my YouTube Channel: thecraftnut32

A couple of day ago I made a card for a friends birthday. When I was done making it I didn't like it, I had pictured it quite differently than how it actually turned out but when I came back the next day to look at it I loved it.
Originally I wanted to put a Happy Birthday sentiment on the front of the card but when I was going through my stamps I could not find anything thing that would go. Now that it is done I love the fact that it does not have a sentiment. I can grab it on any occasion and fill it out on the inside for what I am going to use it for!!

Here are the supplies I used to create this card:

I used a rubber stamp that I bought at Michael's for the flowers and stamped it with black Simon Says Stamp Ink. I used My Inktense pencils and some Distress markers for the flowers and the background. I embossed and cut it with a Spellbinder die and then popped it up on a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 card. The card base was stamped with a MFT wood-grain background stamp with some dark chocolate Simon Says Ink. I used a white gel pen to add some dash lines around  the edge to finish it off.

I love how bright this card is and I am having a lot of fun with my new background stamp :)
