Hyacinth Birthday Card - Karen McKibbin

Hi everybody, today I've got a floral birthday card for you.
 
 
 
This was one of those quick and easy cards. It's an A2 sized card that I created using an A2 sized card front.  I ink blended all over the card front first in pink, and then with some purple around the outside edges.  
I die cut the leaves from the Little Foliage die set multiple times from white cardstock and adhered them randomly over the card front.  Then I cut the outer ring of the Austin Circle from white cardstock and glued that down to the upper portion of the card front.  I added in the center circle and then placed the Violet Garden die cut over the center of the circle.
For the sentiment, I used the same pink and purple inks to create the banner tag, and mounted the sentiment sheet on top of it. I trimmed the banner tag down to fit around the sentiment and cut out the fish tail ends. I mounted the banner on foam tape and adhered it below the center circle.  Next, I added a few pearls around the central image. 
At this point, I felt I didn't have quite enough purple tones on my card, so I went back around the edges with a small brush and added a bit more.  This was quite tricky because of the white die cut leaves, so I would highly recommend getting it right before adding the leaves! 😄
Thank you for stopping by today!
