Triple Birthday Treat

Today's card is another ode to a retiring stamp, Triple Treat.  I kept putting off getting this stamp, eventhough I just loved it the moment I saw it in the catalog, because I didn't have any of the punches that would go with it.  When this stamp was offered as one of the free products during Sale-a-Bration, I grabbed it, along with the punches.  Now I'm sad it's leaving us already.  I had some serious fun playing with this flower.

I made this card for my neighbor.  It's actually his son who commissioned some birthday cards from me.  I figured since the card will be given from a guy, I didn't want to make it too feminine.  I did find out the cards were going out to ladies, so my task wasn't too terribly difficult.  I CASE'd this card from Lesley.

Here's a closer look.  I popped up each layer of flower for dimension.

There is still time to order this stamp and the coordinating punches, except the 5-Petal punch (the middle one).  That particular punch is retiring, and has already sold out.  However, this stamp still works great with the Fancy Flower punch and the 1/2" circle punch.
