When I started my blog in March, I had no idea what kind of response I would get. So, today I'm super happy to have over 10,000 page views. Thank you for taking the time to view my work. It's the small things in life that make me happy!!!This Inked Embossed Birthday Card was made for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge CFC60 titled: Text me and the Moxie Fab World Birthday Stamping challenge. To create this card I inked up the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday embossing folder with Hero Arts chalk ink in Iris and then I ran it through my Texture Boutique machine by Sizzix. Essentially this stamped and embossed the image at the same time. It has a distressed look to it that I like but I thought it needed some colour. To add some colour I embossed a couple of small sections and fussy cut the images, punched a couple of small flowers and added some bling to finish it off.
great card, luv the stamping...hope you have a wonderful weekend!
