Double D - MAY BIRTH FLOWER/STONE

Dear Ones~
The challenge this time over at Double D is to represent either May's birthstone (Emerald) or birth flower (Hawthorne or Lily of the Valley). Here is the Mood Board for our inspiration:
This is my card:
I don't have anything Lily of the Valley or Hawthorne in my collection, so I went with the color of emeralds - green. The circle is a Birch Press set of layering dies called Grace. I love these layering die sets, but they are very pricey, so I only own a few of them. I thought it would be fun to make a 4 1/2" square card for a change.



 
  The Ingredients
GKD Lemon Drop, Jellybean Green & White Cardstock
Birch Press Design Grace Layering Die Set
Altenew Zero Waste 3D Floral Cover Plate
Altenew Yellow Inks
Fiscars Corner Punch
Honey Bee Mini Messages: Everyday Stamp for Greeting
Stash Pearls
 
 
 
 
 If you head on over to the  Double D Challenge Blog and play along, you could win this sweet little Creative Expressions Mini Stencil.  Also, don't forget to check out all the beautiful cards the other designers have created.

 
 
So, until next time dear readers, ASPIRE to be INSPIRED. 
Here's celebrating your CREATIVE MUSE!!

  4. Loving your square card and all of that gorgeous green! Those die cut layers are magical--so fun and fab and pricey for sure! But man oh man what an outcome by using them! The depth!!! And it made a fantastic looking wreath! Love your pretty yellow posies too! Fantastic creation!

  5. Wowie, gorgeous! That's exactly why I have zero of these Birch Press dies, but what an amazing result with this one! I'm totally in love with your flowers, Judy. I had to look them up. I wouldn't have looked twice until seeing your card as your flowers are way prettier than anything I've seen. Now I'm adding to my wish list. Love the sweet yellows and green with the fabulous Birch Press circle!

  7. Layers abound on your beautiful card, Judy. I've always liked those layered dies but yes they are pricey. I love all the layers on your flowers too. How many times did you have to cut that Zero waste die to get all the pieces? lol

  8. What a bright, cheerful card! Yellow is a happy color and works well with the bright greens. Love how you layered the Birch Press die set behind those gorgeous flowers. The HB minis are one of my fav sentiment stamp sets!
