Time for a Birthday

Hi all.  I made this card using a Sheena Douglass Embossing Folder called Trailing Time.  It was a snippet of white card I embossed when making this card here, and I put it aside and when sorting through some things I found it, so I thought it would be good to use it on this card. 


I decided to ink up the piece and used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink applied with a brush, and I then  used a darker blue fine liner pen from a set by Docraft to colour the stamens of the flowers, and I then added this snippet of similarly coloured blue card and added it to a 5" x 7" card, and finished with a die cut sentiment using another snippet of the same card.

Thank you for joining me here today and I'll see you again soon.

The soft colour on the EF is so pretty Pat - and my - haven't you got a steady hand to draw in the stamens! Great card! x
