Extraordinary Floral Birthday Card

This week the Art With Heart team is showcasing Flirty Flamingo and I’ve made a feminine birthday card. 

My card features a beautiful floral detail, created with the Extraordinary Flora Bundle (includes the Extraordinary Flora Stamp Set and coordinating dies) along with the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape. 

How to make my Flirty Flamingo birthday card

The card base is half an A4 sheet of Flirty Flamingo cardstock, layered with patterned paper from the Floral Impressions 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper, which features Pretty in Pink and Strawberry Slush tones. I love the way these two pinks look alongside Flirty Flamingo! 

The other colours in my colour combination are drawn from the colours in the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape: Flirty Flamingo, Pretty in Pink, Strawberry Slush, Old Olive and Basic White.

On the front, I’ve used the Party Banner Dies to cut the main panel, layered with Old Olive cardstock for contrast. The crisp white banner creates the perfect space to showcase the sentiment and floral clusters.

For the main greeting, I stamped “Happy Birthday” in Old Olive ink, using the With You in Mind Stamp Set.

To add a touch of sparkle, I embellished the card front with Basic Rhinestones, coloured with a Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend to perfectly coordinate with the colour palette. 

On the inside of the card, I paired more washi tape florals with the sentiment “With Love” from the Extraordinary Flora Stamp Set. This ties the inside and outside of the card together beautifully.
