This Birthday Card is created using new product from the Occasions Mini, available to purchase on Jan 5th. Now, not the stamp, itself… but the paper. Isn’t it delicious!!! The DSP is called Shades of Spring. The colors in the DSP are Orchid Opulence, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip. Awesome paper for Spring, Easter, Feminine Cards. 
To color in my flowers, first, I added my highlights with SU marker in pink, then the base color with colored pencils in lilac and then went back and did the line work with SU marker again... then I went and touched area's that I wanted recessed with a a darker SU Marker, using the tiny end, lastly I shaded the outer edge of the design in Copic. Weird process, but I like how it turned out. I actually stamped three of the images, so I could cut out and layer some of flower blossoms on top.
The inside MOM letters is a new Stampin Up set that is in the upcoming Occasions Mini, Messages for Mom. The sentiment says… A birthday bouquet just for you. Filled with pleasant surprises and happiness too! Its one from my stash. The little flowers and leaf are Martha punches.
I made this card for Michelle, a friend of mine from work. Her mom collects Tea Cups and I had the perfect stamp for her. She told me, it fit her Mom perfectly. I was so happy to hear that!!! Its scary making a card for someone you’ve never met.
I hope I’ve given you some inspiration today. If you need any SU, send me an email or click here to shop now. Remember the new Occasions Mini and Sale-A-Brations will be available on Jan 5th. Hugs,
