I don't usually make birthday cards using Basic Black , but I loved the contrast of the black with the Highland Heather which I used to color the flowers in the art piece. It also contrasts nicely with the mainly Highland Heather pattern of the Botanical Butterfly DSP which I use on the top of the card front behind the art piece.
Using a template in my Stamparatus, I stamped the small flower from the Lovely Lattice stamp in a circle.
I then coloured each flower with Stampin' Blends (Highland Heather both light and dark, and Granny Apple Green both light and dark, with Daffodil Delight and a fine tip black pen for the flower center). Tiny green pearls were added to the center of each flower.
The square art piece was then die cut with a layering circle framelit and matted with a Highland Heather scallop circle to form the art piece.
The sentiment in the center, from "Beautiful Bouquet", was stamped in Highland Heather and then die cut with a layering circle framelit, It was matted with a Highland Heather scallop circle and the two circles were adhered together using dimensionals and then adhered to the center.
Using the new duo butterfly punch, I punched a butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly DSP, After applying some clear Wink of Stella glitter on the wings I added I to the art piece. Look carefully because the butterfly camouflages' well
A row of light green pearls were placed under the sentiment and a number of the pearls were randomly placed on the card front.
