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!

What a gorgeous card, Bonnie - such a work of art!! Just love your beautiful blossoms and the background you created! Vellum sentiment band adds the perfect finishing touch!!
This is a beautiful and really elegant card Bonnie and I love the purple and pink tones of the pretty flowers, and the inky splats and bits of script in gold look great in the background, and the sentiment on the vellum with the added scored lines is just perfect. Your friend will adore it! x

Beautiful! Love the splats and background stamping. And what a good idea to score the vellum sentiment strip to add more interest to it. A friend of mine who loves purple would love that card so I'm sure your friend did too.
So pretty!
