Happy Birthday ....

.... Morning! It's been raining a bit here, which is good as mum's newly planted garden is really enjoying the rain. Me, I'd much rather more sunshine. Still it'll be here soon. I managed to make a card yesterday afternoon, a much needed birthday card for my stash:

Stamps: Dare 2 Be Artzy - Wishing Happiness; Uniko - Birthday Wishes, Simply Said Birthday
Inks: Gina K - Dusty Rose, Powder Blue, Applemint, Black Onyx; Versafine - Onyx Black
Accessories: White Card; Copic Markers; Clear Embossing Powder; Sakura Stardust Pens

I'm submitting this card to AAA Birthday - AAAB#11 where the theme is flowers, Cupcake Inspirations challenge - CIC#488 colours, and Dare 2 Be Artzy - D2BA#03 where it's Anything Goes.

I stamped the flowers and one set of leaves on white card, coloured them with Copic markers, restamped and then heat embossed with clear powder. I don't have the matching dies, so I simply fussy cut the images. I added some sparkle to the images with Sakura Stardust pens. I used a ruler and black marker to draw in the double lines on the card base. Then I stamped some leaves on the card and the birthday greeting. I used dimensional pads to adhered the other images. On the inside, I stamped a birthday verse and added some more flowers.

I took a close-up photo of the flowers to show the sparkle from the Stardust pens - so pretty.

That's all for today - do come back tomorrow - I've got some fun news to share. See you then.
