Simon Wednesday Challenge - Make It Feminine

Here is Simon Wednesday Challenge - Make It Feminine, below is the challenge photo:

And here is the card I created to attend this challenge:

I die cut Penny Black's Classy Frames on white and dark purple cardstock and stacked them together. I stamped the flower (from Penny Black's Abloom stamp set) on the white cardstock inside of the frame. Then I applied the masking technique to mask flower (with the matching die) as well as masking strips to create the strip background under the flower. I used Altenew's Paper Echoes stencil and fresh day ink pad to create the lavender background. I white embossed "happy birthday" (from Gina K Designs' Floral Framework stamp and die set) on dark purple cardstock and cut out with the matching die. I assembled the floral frame and greeting on the stenciled background. Finish the card by dropping some purple glitter glue on the flower centers. Below is another look of the card:
