Today I have used the Smile - Message pre-coloured digital stamp from Hetty Clare, one of our generous sponsors for this challenge, to make cute birthday card.

I opened the image in Silhouette Studio, sized to 4 1/2", combined two fonts to make the sentiment and printed on heavy smooth white cardstock.  I used a nesting circle die to cut the image panel and matted it with a contrasting circle and scalloped circle.  The weave cardstock colours used matched the brightest pink and darkest maroon from the flowers.  I matted an A5 top folding card with a pretty pink cardstock.  I used a border punch to make some contrasting scalloped strips to adhere to the top and bottom of the card front then secured the matted image panel in place.  I made some flowers to embellish the layered panel by cropping a flower from the image panel in Silhouette Studio and printed it in assorted sizes.  I fussy cut the flowers then went around the edges with a Tuxedo black Memento Dual Tip marker.  I think I must have enjoyed my fussy-cutting time a little too much, as I have enough flowers to embellish a set of cards now.  I used a combination of liquid adhesive and foam circles to secure the fussy cut flowers in place.
