Rediscover Your Supplies June Edition

This card was made using some supplies from a virtual event I attended back a couple years ago. the theme of this month is Masculine so i made a masculine birthday card. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel. I used the Seaside Post stamp, stencil and dies which are actually available in the C9 shop now.

The buds were cut out of Nectar cardstock, and the tiny flowers are cut out of Ballet Slipper. The flowers were cut out of White and I ink blended them with Briar Rose and Plumberry, Sunflower and Sorbet and left a couple of them white and used Sunflower for the centers.
