Happy Birthday Mom!

Hi everyone.  Today's card is for my mother who turns 96 soon.  She LOVES flowers and was an avid gardener when she was younger.  I have filled her card with lovely flowers that I know will make her happy. :)

I used a new-to-be Embossing Folder (Sun-Kissed Blooms by Altenew), along with the matching Stencils to sponge the design.  It turned out really well and was easy to do.  To finish I added a few dots of metallic silver for the stamens and a simple sentiment banner (Simply Sentiments - Lawn Fawn).

Close-up ...
Sending this card to the Seize the Birthday #297 - Use Something New (both the embossing folder and stencils are new), as well as another entry for NBUS Challenge #70. :)
