Hello friends! I've got a fun card and matching hair bow to share with you today with my new stamp set and Die-namics, Pretty Poppies and Poppies and Leaves!

Since it's MFT's die-namics feature time I saved this fun Birthday ensemble for today!

This card is modern, clean and graphic... with a touch of elegance! The sentiment has glitter that has been carefully added over the bold print using a glue pen and loose glitter. I chose elegant buttons to accent the sentiment from this Month's triple scoop, Birthday Sentiments

The poppy from Pretty Poppies is stamped in a medium blue... and coordinates well with the Berrylicious cardstock. I love the contrast that using the Die-namics Poppies and Leaves lends to the card... LOVE the white border around the flower because of the die!

I also added glitter to the poppy center. I took my time doing this so that it stayed clean and crisp!

The inside reflects the outside with the sentiment being on the Fishtail Stax die cut... and the dots from Darling Dots stamped in white ink again!

I love the fresh feeling that this card has! The inside should never compete with the card front (IMHO) rather it should allow your eye to have a place to go either after of before you read the hand written sentiments.

Now for the bow...

Yes, I stamped on the felt using paint instead of ink. I used the same image from Darling Dots to tie it all in together!

Instead of using the bow as it's designed, I folded over the tail in sort of a twist. This works a little better for the feel I was going for in a hair comb! I didn't feel the need to stamp the pain in the back either. I used Hot glue to attach the bow to the comb.

So, this little ensemble is headed to Alex for her Birthday. I hope it survives in her package to Chile! LOL!
