Floral Wreath Birthday Card

I needed a card for an elderly woman at my church who turns 85 tomorrow, so I stamped and die cut several of the floral stamps from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Literary Blooms and used the coordinating stencils to ink blend the following Altenew ink collections through them: Red Sunset, Warm & Cozy, and Whispering Woodland. Then I created a green card base that measures 5 1/2 by 11 and was scored at 5 1/2 to create a 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 inch square card base. I arranged the floral stamps in a wreath on the card front and adhered them with Bearly Art liquid glue. 

For the sentiment, I stamped and die cut the "happy birthday" stamp from the same Literary Blooms kit and die cut extras to stack behind the stamped sentiment for dimension. I adhered the sentiment to the center of the card and finished it off by adding a few enamel dots from Altenew's Warm & Cozy Enamel Dots set.
