Happy birthday card

 today I made a birthday card for you

I started with Sering original cardstock, embossed this with a mask stencil 

Make a sandwich as shown in the picture place the embossing mat and pads as usual and run it through the machine 

The paper is distressed and torn, I cut Creative Expressions background Aubergine flower strips and cut to the right size 

I glued the flower strips behind the torn parts 

Behing the open parts I glued some white scraps 

To make stand out the embossing part a bit more I applied ink with a sponge 

I also cut the background out of  Celeste papier with the Creative Expressions die, I cut this in half and matted it with white paper, distressed the edges 

Out of white paper I cut 2 ovals, I glue them together for a thicker more sturdy piece

These are the parts I'm going to use to finish the card 

The flowers I coloured with ink, shaped and assembled 

The flower background is taped, the oval and embellishments are ready to see where I want to place them

I glued the Ivy on and under the oval and the whole on the card 

I printed and cut the text, inked the edges, the letters I have cut I tape back together 

All flowers, tag and text are glued down, the flowers have a heart with the Perlen Pen

Happy crafting on to the next blog!
