Today's card was heavily inspired by several challenges - thank goodness for those for inspiration!
It was a day to show some love to either neglected stuff (the embossing folder by Marianne, last used over 3 years ago) and some stuff that hasn't seen the light of day yet.
I started by embossing the background, then cutting it into a rectangle shape. Then I die cut the numbers from gold card stock (salvaged from skin care packaging) and stamped the flowers. I used both inks, first a heavy layer of the light blue followed by just a touch of the darker one. This gave me a nice medium value.
Then it was just a question of arranging everything. Here I followed a sketch. Lastly I added some gold droplets and splashes. The text says: 'Happy and perfect birthday'.
Entering this in these very inspiring challenges:
AAA Birthday: #91 Small and dainty
Sunday Stamps: #398 In the corner
Dragonfly Dreams: Embossing
CYHTP: AG w/a twist of Numbers - I am playing with the twist
The Neglected Stuff: November
and as I am using never-before-used-schtuff I am showing this card also at the NBUS #92 November line-up.
WOW what a fun & fabulous creation Alice! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Four Seasons, CYHTP & Neglected Stuff challenges! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
