I made this birthday card for my daughter who loves pink and pearls.
Supplies Used The Stampin' Up! Pretties Kit was perfect for supplying the half pearls, stick pin and crystals.
I used the Brocade Basics stamp set (Stampin' Up!) and an Emboss Resist technique of stamping.
Cardmaking Steps First, I clear embossed the main stamp image- giving me the white images. Then I stamped off centre with the River Rock and Versa Mark and embossed again.
I used a brayer to apply the background colour, and added a little sponging in the top left-hand corner. I stamped multiple images of the half flower head in both Pink and River Rock on a separate sheet of white card and glued them at angles to the original flower heads- this formed clusters of flowers.
I attached the ribbons before matting the images onto white then River Rock card stock .
Pearls, stick pin and Happy Birthday tag were added last of all.
Just looking around for pretty cards and found this one and wanted you to know it's beautiful. Hoping to be able to try making one this evening. Thanks for sharing.
