Happy Birthday

Hi Bloggers.

This card hasn't had its day on the blog -

I started by making an ink pad by spritzing a little Cosmic Shimmer Mulberry Mist Ink Spray Mist onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam. I spritzed a little more ink onto my craft sheet, added a little Ruby Red Mica Powder from the Cosmic Shimmer Delicate Lace Mica Spray Set. I picked this up onto my piece of Cut n Dry Foam. I used this to ink up the image from the Justrite Floral Thank You Stamp Set. I then added a little Cosmic Shimmer Warm White Chalk Paint to my Craft Sheet and mixed this into my Cut n Dry Foam and added a little to my stamp. I stamped this onto Coconut White Card. I cut it out using Spellbinders Labels 29 and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet Distress Ink.

I stamped the Justrite Garden Trellis Background onto another piece of Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium. I brushed Frosted Mallow, Ruby Red and Sugar Grey Mica Powder from the same set over the image. I removed the excess with a dry wet wipe. I trimmed it and matted it onto Black Card.
I embossed a piece of Coconut White Card using the Creative Expressions Rambling Blossoms Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Victorian Vevet Distress Ink. For the main background, I ran another piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Knotted Trellis Embossing Folder and again edged with Victorian Velvet.

I popped a little CS Warm White Chalk Paint onto my Craft Sheet and mixed in a little Frosted Mallow Mica Powder. I picked this up onto a piece of Cut n Dry Foam and used it to colour a piece of White Crochet Ribbon.

I used the same Chalk Paint/Mica mix that I used to colour the ribbon to stamp the sentiment from the Justrite Extra Grand Sentiments Clear Stamp Set. I cut it out using Justrite Vintage Labels 4 Dies and inked through the die with Victorian Velvet.

I assembled the card as shown adding some White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.
