Birthday Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Another feminine card today which was a demo in my first show on Monday.

For the background, I popped a piece of Milk Card inside the Couture Creations Pastorale Embossing Folder. The card was wider than the folder. I ran it through the Grand Calibur. I stamped one of the long thin flourishes from the Embellishing Flourishes Stamp Set along the top and bottom borders using Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. I then inked through the Doodles Daisies Mask with Victorian Velvet using Cut n Dry Foam in the centre section. I inked around the edges of the background by just scraping my foam with Victorian Velvet on it just on the edge of the card. I did the same on my mat pieces.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Classic Sentiments Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders Decorative Labels 8 and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

I made 2 flowers using Spellbinders Spiral Blossom 4. I removed the die cuts from the die and inked along the edge before rolling. I added a 5mm Cream Pearl to the centre of each flower and a Pearl Swirl.

I tied a bow using Burgundy Grosgrain Ribbon and added a Fancy Pearl Embellishment.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
