Birthday Card- The Card Concept

Hello, I have another card to share today! I was inspired by the challenge at the Card Concept:

I love the colors in the inspiration photo, so I started with them. I used a set of layering masks to make the floral background panel. I then found some cardstock in a similar color and used a harlequin background stamp and the same grey ink I used for the blending. I liked the pattern on the pillows in the inspiration photo, this was the closest I had to that pattern. I then used my Cricut to cut the flower from the same color of cardstock. I inked the edges for some interest. I also used a shimmer pen on the grey circle to add a bit of sparkle. I layered a "Happy Birthday" banner over the top of the flower. Once I had all of that on my card front, I felt like it needed a bolder border, so I used a pen and ruler and drew the border around the blue cardstock panel.
