Birthday Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

The background is from the Teresa Collins 8 x 8 Paper Pack. As I had cut down the paper, I lost a little of the shading around the edges so I went around the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the image from the Bags of Style Stamp Set using Perfect Medium and brushed some Dark Bronze Mica Powder from the Metallics Set over the top. I carefully removed the excess using a dry wetwipe, misted it with water and heat set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Distressed Edges and inked through the die with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink using Cut n Dry Foam. I cut the largest of the Spellbinders Pearl Effects out of another of the papers and inked through the die with Brushed Corduroy.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in the same way as the handbag. I cut it out using Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles. I inked through the die with Brushed Corduroy.

I made a flower from another of the papers following this tutorial. I stamped a couple of leaves from the Heartfelt Creations Open Leaf Stamp Set using Perfect Medium. I brushed Dark Bronze Mica Powder over and set with water as before. I cut the leaves out using Heartfelt Creations Classic Leaf Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown adding an 8mm Cream Pearl in each corner and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
