Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

Once again, Thank You so much for all your comments here on the blog and emails to the studio. Much appreciated, as always. So glad you loved the embossing powders.

Here's today's card -

For the background, with the stamp in my hand, I randomly stamped the Rose Background using Tattered Rose Distress Ink. I repeated the process with the Ledger Stamp using Spun Sugar Distress Ink. I made sure the ink was dry and then dusted the whole area with my anti-static bag. I then randomly stamped one of the flourishes from the Newsprint Flourishes Stamp Set using Perfect Medium. I added Cosmic Shimmer Red Salmon Lustre Embossing Powder and heat set. As this was a larger background than usual, I ran it through the Grand Calibur with Sue's new Tapestry Embossing Folder to add texture. I edged the background with Tattered Rose.

I stamped the Daisy Swirl using Perfect Medium and embossed with Red Salmon Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ornate Artisan Tags & Accents and inked through the die with Tattered Rose. I cut the largest die from the same die set out of Blush Card and inked through the die with Tattered Rose.

I made a scrunched up flower using Spellbinders Labels 9 and cut some 'leaves' using the Spellbinders Ornate Artisan Tags & Accents.

I stamped the sentiment that comes with the Daisy Swirl using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Red Salmon Lustre Powder. I cut it out using a Spellbinders Fancy Ribbon Threader die and inked through the die with Tattered Rose. I threaded a little Blue White American Seam Binding through the slits in the die cut. I tied a bow using 3 lengths of the American Seam Binding and added a Pink Dazzler.

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

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
