Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

For the background, I randomly inked through sections of the Fretwork Mask using Scattered Staw Distress Ink. Then I randomly stamped one of the swirls from the Heartfelt Creations Sunkissed Fleur Swirls Stamp Set using Scattered Straw. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Hyper Magical Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the design and inked around the edges with Scattered Straw using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Heartfelt Creations Tags & Basket Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured in using Distress Markers. I used Mustard Seed, Dried Marigold and Crushed Olive. I cut the image out using Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles and inked through the die with Scattered Straw. I cut a larger Resplendent Rectangle out of Custard Card and again inked through the diw with Scattered Straw.

I stamped the Sunkissed Fleur Stamp using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut out using the Sunkissed Fleur Die. I did this a couple of times so I had plenty of flowers to choose from. I selected some flowers to correspond with the ones on the tag. I coloured them the same way as before, shaped them and added a Cream Pearl in the centre of each.

I selected 3 of the larger flowers and coloured them the same way as the ones on the tag. I coloured 2 leaves (also cut from the stamp/die) with Crushed Olive. I shaped the flowers and the leaves and added a Cream Pearl.

 

I assembled the card as shown adding some more pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Golden Pearl around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
