Birthday Card

 Hi,

today I am sharing a birthday card I have made for my sister who has a birthday just before Christmas and I do my utmost to not have any Christmas colours on it.

So I decided to use this gorgeous Magnolias from Pinkfresh Studio along with the coordinating stencil and die set. 

The card is a big 6x8 top folding card and on to that I added a mat which I first dry embossed using Petal Trellis coverplate die and brushed over using two of the colours I used on the flowers.

I stamped out two sets of the image using black and I left it one side for a couple of hours to make sure it was dry because I've had some smudging in the past. The inks I chose to use today are cherry blossom, peony and begonia along with spanish moss, doe, eucalyptus and lush forest. I have to say I am happy with the outcome and Thank You to Carissa Wiley for the inspiration.

I wanted to ground the images so I cut out a frame in rose gold using some postage edge dies I have  I cut it up to fit off the top and bottom of the mat. I cut extra images in white cardstock to give stability to the images. After I decided where everything was going I stuck it all down using liquid glue.

The sentiments are from my stash and were added to the same rose gold foil card.  To finish off I added some clear gems.

I am joining in with December 2025 Challenge  over at Pinkfresh as an anything goes project.

Thanks for stopping by today

Sue.
