Blossom Birthday Card

I created a Birthday card last week for a friend.  I haven't created a lot of cards but I wanted to see what I could come up with using the new Blossom paper and the Stamp of the Month for April, Typed Note.  My lighting isn't the greatest here, but here it is.  I over think stuff all the time and told myself during nap time that I would go and just see what I could come up with.  I didn't let myself get hung up.  I just kept saying keep going and let the creativity flow, then if I don't like it I can always start over.  This isn't a difficult card so it didn't take me very long.

I wanted to use colors that all coordinated so I used the colors from the Blossom paper.  I used Sunset, Pear, and Juniper inks.  The diagonal striped paper is a zip strip, then I added a scrap with a dove tail end, and finally a piece of teal shimmer trim.  

The Stamp of the Month is just $5 with a $50 purchase and if you are purchasing a grab bag that counts towards that amount!

Here's are all the stamps included in the Typed Note stamp set:
