Countdown to Sale-a-bration - Approaching Perfection

 Happy Wednesday! I hope you are having a good week. Just a couple more days left in 2020, and if you're like me, you will be MORE than happy to say goodbye to this crazy year. I am continuing my countdown to Sale-a-bration today with projects that featuring the Approaching Perfection stamp set...

This set is SO much fun...with cheeky sentiments and images to make birthday cards for almost anyone. Check out this pretty birthday card I made using this set and the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper...

I love the bold font of this Happy Birthday sentiment. I works perfectly on just about any card design. Here I stamped it in Night of Navy ink and die-cut  Whisper White and Blushing Bride labels using the Tasteful Labels dies. I embossed the Blushing Bride label using the Greenery Embossing folders...I love the subtle hint of texture it adds behind the sentiment. The flowers were punched from the Paper Blooms DSP using the Small Bloom punch and the new Strawberry Builder punch from the upcoming January-June Mini. The leaves were also punched using the Strawberry Builder punch...I can see myself using that punch A LOT...and for much more than just strawberries! Here is a closer look...

I love the added texture of the wooden leaves from the In Good Taste Elements...I brushed them with some Frost White Shimmer paint so the sparkle and shine. 

On the inside of the card I added a Whisper White panel on which I stamped another sentiment from the Approaching Perfection set, as well as some more punched flowers. I used some silver metallic pearls for the centres on all of my flowers. 

I demonstrated this card in the video below:
