Summer Flowers

I made a card that was kinda fun to do. The cuts all come from the Country Life cartridge. I really liked the background paper. It was a piece in my stash so I don't remember where it came from, probably DCWV, but I'm not sure. I found some challenges for it,  that I will list at the bottom of the post.


I cut the clouds 3 times at 1.25" and 1 at 1.50" then I layered them with pop dots to give dimension to them. I inked the clouds with blue ink. The Happy Birthday is a little stamp I had. I don't know where I got it. The grass was cut twice and layered with pop dots in between the layers. The flowers and grass were cut at 3".  Very simple card. I hope you like it. 
I am putting this card in the following challenges:
