Just got this new batch of Quietfire Design   rubber yesterday, and this is the 3rd card I've made with one of them... More to come

I love this orchid flower from Flourishes (set #150). I stamped it onto watercolor paper with Versafine Black Onyx, then colored with Derwent watercolor pencils and my water brush. Die cut the floral oval (Spellbinders) up to my flowers and hand cut around the flowers.

Cut, folded, spliced my card from white cardstock, embossing the front before splicing (Spellbinders m-Bossibilites "Flora") and sponged Distress Spun Sugar and Crushed Olive till I got a rich tone.

Die cut the splice edge with Spellbinders "Moroccan Accents". Added an olive toned narrow ribbon.

Die cut the flower pot (Spellbinders "Flower Pots") from white cardstock, turned down the lip, sponged Tea Dye & Aged Mahogany.

Adhered the floral oval, then the flower pot, adding hand cut leaves from the other orchid in the set and adding a length of stem.

Quote stamped with the black.

Inside: Used my electronic cutter to cut the outline of the orchid stamp from Distress Oxide decorated cardstock. Inked with Distress Picket Fence and embossed with white embossing powder.

Die cut the "Happy Birthday" (Elizabeth Craft Designs die also available on Quietfire Design) from a purple scrapbook cardstock.
