Happy birthday!

It was really hard to capture how this card looks in person, on camera.

The butterfly and the Happy Birthday are both embossed with silver embossing powder.

I used Pool party ink and CS, Summer Starfruit ink, Soft Suede ink and Vellum paper.

For Stamp sets I used Papaya Collage and Happiest Birthday Wishes.

I should also say, this card was not inspired by me it came right from the pages of the current Stampin Up Catty.

I actually did quite a few cards by copying the samples.

The Catty is great for getting inspiration!

Vintage beauty!

 

 

I love the color combination in this card, Raspberry Ripple, Old Olive, and Pool Party.  The Ribbon on the left is normally flat but I melted it with the heat gun to get this rippled effect, adds a bit of texture to the card.  The Flower was made by Punching out 3 flowers 2 with the blossom punch and 1 with Fancy Flower punch. You could do 3 out of the same punch, I just wanted the centre flower to be a bit smaller.  You Take all 3 Flowers and spray them with water and then Scrunched them up into 3 balls.  After a few minutes open the flowers and shape them the way you want.  The flowers will dry and keep this shape, even if they are squished in an envelope.  I think the rest is straight forward.  don't be afraid to leave a comment if you have a question!
