The card that I wanted to share with you today was the other card that I created for my Aunt and Uncle to give to their Daughter in Law for her 40th birthday...
I took lots of yummy Basic Grey patterned paper and the Lauderdale Floral stamp set from Hero Arts, stamping both of the flowers onto the patterned paper with Versamark Ink and embossing both with white embossing powder, trimming around each, adhering each of the flowers together with foam dimensionals, adding some twine to the back of the flowers and setting aside. Taking more patterned paper and running through my Cuttlebug cutting the paper with a Tim Holtz die, I stamped a happy birthday sentiment from the Life of the Party stamp set using Versamark Ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. I then adhered the die cut to another piece of patterned paper that had a stitching line around the edge. I attached the flower using more foam dimensionals and added extra wording with Thickers. Finally, adhering this to a trimmed white card and rhinestones to complete.
Here is a close up of the card.
I sure hope that my cousin likes her card...fingers crossed..LOL
Okay, I am off to watch Desperate Housewives and Private Practice...have a wonderful night everyone!
Hugs
