My name is Kim and I live in Somerset in the UK and I have made this birthday card using a sketch by Teneale Williams.

I've used the Blooms and Bliss designer series paper and the lillies from the Remarkable You stamp set.

I have stamped Happy Birthday in Sweet Sugarplum ink using the Stylized Birthday stamp for the inside of the card and also added an edge of torn designer series paper to the top and bottom of the Whisper White layer.

For the front of the card I have added a layer of designer series paper to fit the entire front of the card. I usually leave a border but I really like how this has come out. I then added a small layer of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock before overlapping a layer of Vellum cardstock.

Next I stamped the lillies image onto Whisper White cardstock twice. I used Stampin' Write markers to colour in the stamp - Sweet Sugarplum for the outline of the flower and Old Olive for the stem.

I cut out the flowers using my Paper Snips (I am really not a fan of fussy cutting but let me tell you, these were a dream to cut out!) I adhered one set of flowers straight onto the vellum and then popped up the second set directly over the top using Stampin' Dimensionals. This really has added some fabulous dimension to the flowers and I am really pleased with this effect.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment Happy Birthday in Basic Gray using a stamp from the Sunshine Sayings stamp set. I cut around the sentiment and used glue dots to adhere it over the top of the stems.

I've been a bit cheeky and I have also entered this card into the Global Design Project sketch challenge #GDP058 - it's Teneale's last sketch and this makes me really sad. I love Teneale's sketches but I am sure we'll be challenged with some more fabulous sketches by another talented designer in the weeks to come. I've been 'suffering' with crafters block for a few weeks but this sketch really helped me make this card for you today - thanks Teneale! Here is the wonderful sketch

You can order everything I've used to make my card from my online shop today. Until the end of the month you can order 3 packs of selected DSP and get one pack 3!
