I had made a shaker frame a while back and didn't know what I was going to do with it. I had the supplies out on my workbench and didn't want to waste the opportunity. The shaker frame sat in the pile for a while and I decided I needed a card, so I rifled through the leftovers of premade flowers and came up with this beauty.
The flowers were white embossed onto watercolor paper using my Altenew Peony outline stamp. I used my Mission Gold watercolors to color the image - keeping the colors very light. The leaves were done the exact same way, but didn't get as much color definition. I searched and found some accent pieces - this time stamped onto Bristol paper using ink rather than watercolors. I think the two media work well together and create a fine accent. 
On the inside - a very simple sentiment because the front was so busy. Happy birthday, period! Its a wonder I don't have more cards made considering how many odd bits and pieces are in the stash. It's one of the things that having a Scrapbox allows - the stashing of supplies in zippered bags inside the front doors. I'm hopeless! :)
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
