Hi all! Welcome to another challenge at Seize the Birthday! This time, our leading lady Vicki has chosen the topping ‘Flowers‘. If you are not a toppings kind of crafter, just make sure that your entry has a birthday theme.
Incidentally, this card went to a dear friend, Hilary, who had celebrated her birthday a some time ago. I hope you enjoyed the card, Hilary! 🙂
Of course, I was spoilt for choice with this topping! But, after seeing this card by Yana Smakula I thought I was going to CASE (more like completely copy it!!) it and use my favorite die in the process.
I started with the background, by swiping distress inks across a white card panel. I ran one shade of ink over another so the different shades could blend well. Once that dried, I added a few splatters of water and picked it up with a dry paper towel to add some texture. Once that too dried, I used Simon Says Stamp Margot Tile embossing folder and embossed the panel. I also applied some gold wax on the embossed surfaces (not so visible in the images), so it match the sentiment later.
The flowers are from Spellbinders Fresh Picked Anemones and the leaves are from Simon Says Stamp Arching Leaf Border, which I die cut from colored cardstock. I used gold foil cardstock to die cut the sentiment from Altenew Essential Sentiment Strips before layering it over a strip of white cardstock. I assembled the card and added a few gold sequins for embellishing.
And that finished my card! I’m joining these challenges too –
