Birthday Wishes

Hi crafters!  I pulled out the alcohol inks for today's card.  I used Red Pepper, Sunset Orange and Flamingo alcohol inks on a piece of Silver Sparkle Alcohol ink card.  Next I used the Double Stitched Rectangles and cut two thin frames.  I added acetate to the smaller one, then added mounting foam to the backs of both of the frames and attached them to the background.  I made several of the Button Flowers in white in different sizes, glittered them and attached them in the lower corner of the smaller frame.  I added small pieces of the Magnolia Corner as accents.  I used the Wishes shadowed die/stamp combo cut in white with a white shadow and glued it across the acetate in the smaller frame.  I stamped the word Birthday and cut it out with the tag die and added it above the wishes die cut.  I used the Butterfly Delights die set and added several butterflies of varying sizes as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  35. Not a colour I normally work with unless I’m doing sunset or autumn but I love the effect it gives with the contrast of the white flowers & foliage & also the greeting. I haven’t come across silver alcohol ink card before, something else to look out for. I like the way you have floated the greeting too. Thank you Sue.
