Happy Birthday with Flowers

I have quite a few birthday cards to make in January and this is the next one, Richard's mum.

I decided to use a new stamp which I bought a while ago but haven't used yet.

The background paper is from last year's catalogue so now sadly retired.  The stamp set is Posy Punch which has been stamped in Wisteria Wonder to match the base card.  The centre of the flowers have been stamped with Concord Crush and finished off with a pearl.  I've used the fancy flower punch and 1/2" circle punch to give a more professional look to the stamped images - I find punches so much easier to use than scissors and use them wherever possible!

I've entered this card into the following challenges:

Crazy4Challenges - New Toys - C4C118

Papers Sundaes Challenge - #102 Saturated Colours
