Happy Birthday to You!

Welcome to the birth of a new year...2015 to be precise! In honor of that, we've decided that our monthly challenge for January will be Birthday Wishes.  More precisely, today's post is in honor of Lynell's birthday!  So, Lynell, SURPRISE!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!  We'd love for you to play along with us, and link your creations to the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of this post, or on the Dream It Up! blog, for a chance to win the stencil of your choice...and remember, using Dreamweaver products gets you bonus points towards an extra stencil!

Here's my birthday wish for this week:

If I remember correctly, aqua/teal is one of Lynell's favorite colors so that's the primary color used on this card.  I sure hope I'm right!  LOL!  If not, well, it's still a lovely color!

Here's what I used to create this card:

Dreamweaver Stencils© DG743 Stylized Dahlia Die

Stampendous® Loving Messages Perfectly Clear Stamps

Stampendous® Fran•táge Powder Blue Color Fragments

Stampendous® Fran•táge Canary Color Fragments

Stampendous® Fran•táge Chiffon Color Fragments

Stampendous® Fran•táge Oceanic Crushed Glass Glitter

Stampendous® Fran•táge Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel

VersaMarker Watermark Ink Pen

Memento™ Teal Zeal Ink by Tsukineko®

My Mind's Eye™ Indie Chic™ "Nutmeg" 6x6 Paper Pad

Navajo, Rain, Jade and Chiffon Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®

3-in-1 Glue by Beacon Adhesives

3L Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares

Here's what I did to create this card:

Die cut flower from three different shades of aqua/teal cardstock, light, medium and dark

Trim the cardstock around the medium-tone cs as this will be your base for the flower

Trim a piece of yellow cardstock to go behind the flower base

Adhere the aqua flower base to the yellow piece

Inlay the darker and lighter shaded pieces as shown

Add watermark ink to the inside of lower petals and add embossing enamel, tap off extra and return to jar 

Heat enamel from below with heat gun

Create an A2 card base with a tent fold from yellow cardstock

Trim patterned paper to fit card base

Create an aqua mat to go under the flower layers (this really pops it off the patterned paper visually)

Using a scrap of the yellow cardstock, stamp sentiment and trim closely

Using a scrap of the patterned paper, create a mat for the sentiment and adhere the two layers

Adhere the patterned paper to the card base

Adhere the matted flower layers to the card base

Attach the matted sentiment to the card 

Mix together the glitter and fragments and adhere to the card as shown

That's it for me!  Of course, there's more birthday inspirations coming your way from the Dream Team, be sure to leave some love along the way:
