Rose Pastel Oval
Rose Pastel Oval

Instructions:
Card size: 5 x 6 3/4". Make a shaped card by folding a piece of white cardstock to make a 5 1/4” x 7” card. Place the outer die of the Simply Classic Die over the fold by about 1/4", cut. Cut another front from White and glue to card front matching bottom and sides. Place the outer die and the next die in the set onto light pinkish decorative paper and cut. Use the frame on the outer edge, use the inside to cut a small decorative border for later. On light blueish color decorative paper, place the large decorative part of the die set and in the center the small decorative border (for later as well). Make a slightly smaller large oval (with scissors) to line the back of the large decorative die (just the oval part). Glue the pink lined blue cut out onto card front matching cut lines of the outer die cut border.
From white, cut the plain oval from the set and a foam sheet piece to match then glue them together and glue to center of card front. Off-set pink and blue small decorative ovals as you glue them around the plain white oval. Stamp Happy Birthday using Rose Madder on white then die cut with 1 1/4" wide small oval from Eyelet Ovals and Basics. Cut a piece of foam sheet to match, glue together then glue it to the center of the card front.
Use pearl strips to go around 2 ovals on blue large die cut.
Using Deluxe Flower Shaping Cardstock, stamp Wild Roses Small using Rose Matter, sponge with Pink Peony, die cut then shape in the mold. Use the Deluxe Flower Shaping kit to form centers. Glue multiple layers together using 2-3 sizes on each. Insert 1 blue Bead Stamen and several small white pearl stamen into each flower except bud. For bud use a white or blue bead stamen then shape the center petals around it stamped side out. Make 2 more layers stamp side up. Cut wire short, glitter flowers with Crystal Clear.
Stamp leaves using Garden Patina, sponge lightly with Sky Blue, die cut and then shape in the mold. Add a layer of lacquer to the tops of leaves.
Stamp little birds, die cut then color and round backs a little bit with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. Add foam dots to the back of each bird.
Arrange flowers and leaves onto both the bottom left and the bottom right of card front, let the leaves or flowers hang over bottom edge just enough for the card to display standing straight up (it makes a balance). Add the little birds into arrangement then glitter the card front using Ultrafine.
