Creative Calypso

Our youngest daughter's 35th birthday is tomorrow, and while I have many cards to choose from, I wanted to make her something special.  I hope she likes it.

I used my new Creative Elements set and stamped the flower three times on Whisper White with Calypso Coral ink.  I used a blender pen to pull the color and then, since it wasn't as vivid as I wanted, I used the same color marker to add some more intense color.

Then I cut out the top third from one flower and the top two thirds from another and stacked them on the third flower with dimensionals.

I used the sketch from SC343 at SCS this week.  It was a bit fussy and time consuming to cut all those pieces and round the corners, but well worth the effort I think.

It also fits for the jac-inks #13 challenge to do a Monotone card.

I can't believe my baby is 35!
