Birthday Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Thanks to all of you who took the time to visit Kathryn's blog yesterday. She was thrilled to have had so many page views and comments.

Back to pink and white today.

I dusted a piece of Pastel Pink Card with an anti-static bag and stamped the sentiment from the Classic Sentiments Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer White Detail Embossing Powder. I then stamped the Floral Scroll Stamp (I cut the solid piece of rubber from the centre of my stamp so I could see where to place it around my sentiment) again using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer White Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Spellbinders 5 x 7 Elegant Labels Four and inked through the die with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Pastorale Embossing Folder (the card was a little wider than the folder. I stamped along the top and the bottom with the Singles Leafy Swirl Stamp using Spun Sugar. I then inked around all the edges with Spun Sugar using Cut n Dry Foam.

I cut the single flower from the Spellbinders Floral Corner 1 Die D-Lites set 4 times out of Pastel Pink Card. I added 1 to each corner of the background and added a 5mm White Pearl to the centre of each one.

I tied a bow using White Satin Edged Organza Ribbon and added a Medium Circle Dazzler.

I assembled the card as shown adding some left-over bits from a Pearl Swirl and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Vintage Pink around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
