Blossom Bouquet Birthday

Hi there! Happy Saturday out there! I hope you are enjoying your day. I have kind of been on "creative haitus" this week. First Blogger wasn't cooperating, then life just got busy. I've had some much-needed time off with my husband over the past two weeks, so we have been doing a little traveling and relaxing. It has been great! 

I had a little time today to create and thought I would play along with the ColourQ challenge. How FUN are these colors?! 
That adorable rug in the inspiration photo immediately had me pulling out my Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch. I LOVE that punch! I'm not saying it will be replacing my (current favorite) Butterfly punch, but it's close! The card itself was pretty simple to create but I really like how those awesome colors pop! The sentiment from the (ret.) Well Scripted set is heat embossed for some added shine.  I also used the Finial Press embossing folder to play off the cut-out shapes in the flowers. All of the supplies used are listed at the end of the post.
Thanks for stopping by today! I'm off to catch a movie with my favorite guy. Be sure to stop by and check out the ColourQ, too. There is so much wonderful creative inspiration there. Until next time, have a very HAPPY day today! :)
