Hello and welcome back! Here's another birthday card today.
I created an ink blended background with some Irresistibly Floral DSP from a few years ago.
To make the large sentiment easier to see, I stamped it with Rich Razzleberry on vellum and then heat embossed it with clear powder.
I added adhesive under the darkest parts of the sentiment so it wouldn't show through the vellum. Some rhinestones on the flower centers add a bit of bling, although the embossing is pretty shiny too!
The design was inspired by the color challenge at The Paper Players (my 4th color is Granny Apple Green), and this week's challenge at Tic Tac Toe Challenges (I used the diagonal from lower left to upper right and the right hand column).
Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
