Birth Flowers
I've always known about birthstones and that July's is a ruby. But birth flowers? That was something I had to Google and found out that my birth flower is the larkspur. The challenge on Sentimental Sunday was to include your birth flower on a card. Since Birthday Sundaes always has a birthday card, I decided to combine the two.
This cut from Cindy Lou was the closest thing I could find to a larkspur. It is periwinkle in color and grows on a stem. I used the same periwinkle for the background. The oval cut was in my reject drawer so I'm not sure what cartridge it was from but I thought the flower looked perfect on it. I did give the flower a little spray of pearl Glimmer Mist and then added the PTI birthday stamp in Dusty Concord Distress Ink. Let's see - who else has a July birthday that I can send this to?.
