Hello there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Today I'm celebrating the birthday of a dear friend.
I've stamped and heat embossed these gorgeous flowers onto Mixed Media paper
and colored with Distress Markers adding extra detail with Caran d'ache
Supracolor Pencils.
I added some messy splats in the background and some second and third
generation stamping.
For some extra pizzazz, I added some Mercury Glass Stickles to the
centers of the flowers.
The sentiment was stamped on a strip of vellum and heat embossed.
Some scored lines finish off the vellum strip.
I hope you are having a wonderful birthday celebration, my dear friend!
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!
