Happy birthday - Stamping 411 color inspiration 115

The colors to be used for the challenge were:  Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, and So Saffron.  Here is how I used those colors in a card.

I used Very Vanilla as the base. I cut 1" of card stock from the right front.
The So Saffron layer was embossed with the polka dot embossing folder, and edged with Olive green (using the new edge punch)
I then placed a 1 1/4" strip of Egg plant down the front of the middle, upon which I placed olive green ribbon.

The Stamp: Happy Moments .  The image was coloured with markers.  Then I restamped and colored the image on a separate piece of white card stock, punch out 1/2" (6) circles, and adhered them together with Crystal Effects, giving the 2 red/pink flowers a 3D effect.
I did a similar process for the buttons in the corner, only I put a 1/2 pearl on the top while the Crystal Effects was still wet.
Sentiment from Whimsical wishes
Punches:  1 3/4", round coluzzle.  I pricked around the olive green circle.
Here's a side view.  Hopefully you can see the 3D effects on the flowers and buttons.
