Beautiful Buttercup Birthday

I have used a beautiful Simon Says Stamp die and sentiment, to make a buttercup birthday card!

This is a buttercup die, and I don't know about you, but I used to put buttercups under my chin, as a child, if yellow showed on my chin, it meant I like butter.  Well...I could never see how yellow they showed on my chin, but I think the color must have been very DARK, because I LOVE butter!!  My grandma used to make me butter sandwiches!  Yes, and I have thus far, lived to tell about it!  So, these pretty yellow flowers were just calling me to make a card with them!  I used a yellow ink to color the flowers, and DID shade them a bit, although it doesn't show too much on the photos.   I layered the back part of the flower, adhered the stems onto the top flowers, and put a piece of foam in between the two pieces of flower, to give them some dimension.  I did have to put 3 glue dots around that foam, to adhere the edges of the top layer of flower to the bottom layer.  I am liking the textured bazzill paper that I have had FOR EV ER, so I used it to stamp the sentiment, which I die cut and layered, then adhered the flowers to a cut panel.  I added some enamel dots and voila!  Here's a close up...  

This card made me happy.  I had wanted a sentiment that expressed sunshine, but beautiful friend fit some beautiful buttercups...such happiness!  Hope you are having a great week!
