Female Birthday Card

Hello and a Happy New Year to you all.
Today I would like to share my first card of the year, which I was
asked to make at very short notice!
So, with speed in mind, I used the embossing folder directly onto the card base.
I like this embossing folder, as it has a nice scalloped circle
in the centre, which can have anything added to it as a topper.
I attached the punched flowers and leaves, then added pearls to the centre of the flowers.
 I have used navy card for the numbers and scalloped circle,  but it looks black in the
photo due to the poor lighting on the day!

The items I have used are:-
Crafts Too embossing folder - Round Frame (CTFD3094)
Spellbinders -  circles & scalloped circles
Numbers are from the Cuttlebug Olivia Alpabet
Woodware punch - Fern
Docrafts Xcut punch - Small daisy

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-
Pixie's Snippets Playground - Anything Goes
Crafty Boots - Something Old, Something New
Crafting from the Heart - Anything Goes
