Flowers for birthday

Hello and welcome, 

Today I have another Birthday card. My Mother’s former collegue turned 91 in January, so I made her a card.

I wanted her to have a little taste of spring in this card. So I choose some flowers and pink color 🌸.

I used the stamp CMS460 Tiny prints on the background and used clear embossing powder, heated with embossing gun. Inked the background with some pink Distress inks and oxides. Then I used my iron and ”ironed away” the embossing powder. A very cool technique that I have learned from Tami Baastians. 

By doing that you get rid of the blank finish you get from the embossing powder. 

For this card I also used one of these nice collage strips. And the flowers from 665853 Modern flowerstry. 

The text is from 666873 Vault edges. 

The stamp in the uppger right corner is from Tim’s Stickerbook - Postmarked, an fun is that there are some  Swedish stamps in it. An old stamp. 

I have decorated the card with some Distress spritz, some pearls and some white Posca pen. I stitched the edges with my sewing machine and I also stitched some on the collage strip.

Products used:

Watercolor cardstock, CMS460 Tiny Prints, Clear embossing powder, Distress inks and Oxides, 665853 Modern florestry, 666873 Vault edges, Stickerbook-Postmarked, Collage strip. 

I will try this card over at Simon Says stamp Monday challenge - Beautiful blooms.

Thank you very much for visiting my blog.
