Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release day - Blushing Bloom

Hello crafty friends! I can't believe it's finally Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember!! Ok I'll turn down the exclamation points, but I'm super excited to be sharing a project using a few goodies from this release.
Card Base:Top folding half sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 white cardstock cut to an A2 size card base.
Background: I made a bright and vibrant plaid background on a quarter sheet of thick white cardstock. I used dye ink pads and drew horizontal and vertical lines using the ink pad directly to the cardstock. I have a video over on my Instagram showing the process. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut it out to leave a bit of a white border.
Focal Point: I cut the flowers and leaves using the Simon Says Stamp Blushing Bloom die set out of white cardstock. I colored the center of the flowers and the leaves with distress ink. I used foam squares to adhere them to the plaid background.
Sentiment: I cut the Happy sentiment from gold cardstock and twice from white cardstock and adhered together with craft glue for thickness. I stamped the birthday in red ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out and used foam squares to pop it under the the gold happy die.
I hope you enjoyed the project I made to kick off STAMPtember. I hope you will head over and take a look at all the amazing new goodies from this release. I have provided affiliate links to all the products used in this project at no additional costs to you. Thanks for stopping by and happy STAMPtember!

You can decide which way you would like to try! I had a lot of fun creating each one. This first technique I used is to stamp the Gerbera Daisy background stamp onto watercolor cardstock using white embossing powder. I heat se the stamped image then trimmed it down to fit an A2 size card base. Then I used distress inks and a waterbrush to add color to each daisy for a whimsical watercolor look.  I used one bow dies from the new Little Bow die set cut from red cardstock to add as a focal point for my sentiment which was stamped in red ink. To add shine I added clear sticky...
