Painting Inspired Birthday Card

Today is my Mom's Birthday.  I found this painting to go in her dinning room.  She has a large wall that she is doing a collage of flower paintings and was looking for a long one.  I was hoping this picture would fit in and she would like it.  So far, she does, she just needs to take it home and try it out.

So seeing this picture I was inspired to create a coordinating Birthday Card.  It looked different in my mind, but when my mom opened the card she said OH, look how beautiful!  That was all I needed to hear!

And right away she noticed that the card matched the painting! Only, in real life the painting had more yellow than cream.  So, it makes my card look really yellow. The lighting was much better when I took the photo of the card.   

I used my Cuttlebug for the dry embossed Paisley background.  The paisley embossing folder is actually my friend Patty's, she let me borrow it a while back and this is my first time using it. Very cute.  I also used the Trimtastic and So Many Scallops sets to accessorize.  The flower is from the Blommin' Beautiful Set. 

Here in this photo you can see the detail in the card better.

So, it is not my favorite card ever, but it really is my Mom's style and I made it with her in mind and she liked it.

Thanks for visiting!  Enjoy the last moments of your weekend!

Oops! I guess my first comment didn't post! Sorry.

I love your card, I don't think it's too yellow at all! In fact, you should get your mother a frame to put the card in!
