Happy Birthday

Hello there my crafty friends!  I have an opal polish sample that uses some of the older dies for you today.  I started with the Summer Sky Opal Polish and applied it to a piece of white card and allowed it to dry.  I used the Rose Bed embossing folder to add texture to the polished card.  Once embossed, I went over the top very lightly with Lilac Rose Opal Polish (it is hard to tell in the pics, but very pretty in real life!)  I had some leftover polished card so I cut the Claire die out of it.  I added the larger backing piece to it in white.  I cut a Maggie die in white then cut it in half and mounted the two halves on either side of the Claire die.  I attached it to the background with mounting foam.  I cut a small circular frame out of the polished card.  I stamped my sentiment and added the circle frame over it with foam, then attached it to the centre of the card.  I made two small flowers using the die from the Magnolia Corner die set, glittered them and added them to the left side of the card.  I used the Lace Edged Leaves in white as accents.  I added a strip of white pearls to the top and bottom edges of the card.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 1/2"  in size.  All for now.
