How I made my card:
  • I created an A2 card from natural card stock.  I used a Deckle Rectangle stencil to brush on some pink distress ink and create an area.  I lightly stamped the Script CAC stamp before removing the stencil.
  • Next, I took the inside portion of the stencil, and placed it over the area I had created.  I used embossing ink with foam applicator to create a border of embossing ink all around the area, then embossed with fine gold embossing powder for a border.
  • I gold-embossed the Happy Birthday verse, and used a graphite pencil to add some shading to the letters.
  • I gold-embossed the Budding Blossom onto a scrap piece of the natural card stock.  I colored this with Arteza Everblend alcohol markers.
  • I fussy-cut the blossom, and added it to the card front, with some gold pearl accents.
  • INSIDE:  I created another distress area as above, and stamped the Beautiful You verse with green ink.  I gold-embossed the Budding Bloom, and added that.
I hope you are enjoying our cards for the April Release.  There are so many fun stamps to work with.  Let me know in the comments which is YOUR favorite!

  14. Really gorgeous card. The embossing really makes it. I think I like the Evening Primrose best from the April release...no...maybe the rainbows...the daffodils! IDK, so many good ones!
