Birthday: Framed Watercolor

The watercolor under the frame uses stamp pads for the color.  Then stamps from Flower Shop and Gorgeous Grunge created the pattern.  The flowers are punched from the Flower Shop and Petite Petals stamp sets.  The Happy Birthday stamp is one of my favorites; I found it at a garage sale years ago.

Sympathy: Flower Shop and Petite Petals

Wedding: Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

This card is also for Malanie's friend.  I love Stampin' Up's matching sets; I used three different stamp sets that coordinated perfectly!  This was also the first time I used the Striped Scallop die.  I used wax paper with the die -- it came out cleanly and easily!
