Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by - Christmas is only 4 sleeps away for us in the Southern Hemisphere - the shopping centres are so full and I feel for those who have yet to start their shopping - not a fan of last minute at any time! In the meantime I have a quick birthday card to share with you - you can never have too many on hand!
I have used the Spellbinders Framed Petite Labels embossing folder as the card front - it has such pretty details and lends itself to be combined with any smaller die. The embossing folder has been sponged using Imagine Memento Luxe ink in Wedding Dress and a sponge dauber - I love how this both softens and highlights the embossed pattern. The corners have been rounded, next this layer has been popped up onto a slightly larger white pre-cut card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.
The Die D-Lites Swirl Delight Etched Dies has been cut/embossed using the Platinum Die Cutting Machine. white card stock and adhered to the card front using double sided tape. A die cut birthday sentiment has been lined using green card stock and popped up into the Swirl Delight using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.
A double bow has been created and glued under the sentiment. A small white flower along with a mauve jewelled brad have been glued to the knot of the bow. Green sequins have been randomly glued to the card front.
