HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweet friend. Have a wonderful day of celebration! :)
It's also time for the next IDEAS Challenge with Darnell. This week is "E for Embossing Folders". I usually post on Mondays ... but I delayed a day so I can post it today. Hopefully my friend has received this card in the mail. :)
I recently bought this beautiful stamp and die set from Pinkfresh Studio (Amazing Things). The image is stamped in permanent ink (Archival Watering Can - Ranger), and then watercoloured with Distress inks (Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss). The matching die was used to cut it out (I had to add a few shims for it to work). The image is popped up over the dry embossing, glued at the bottom and pop dots on the flowers and leaves. Thinking of you sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped on black card stock, white heat embossed and die-cut; then added over top, along with a strip of black card stock at the bottom.

A terrific card for Bonnie's birthday Loll..I guessed and found I was right by the comment she left, and I love the lines on the background embossing and the yellow watercoloured flower is so bright and pretty over the top, also great contrast with the white on black die cut sentiment..it really stands out. x

Love the embossing detail in the background, and the die cut flower is just beautiful xx
Your flowers are beautifully colored, Loll, and that is such a great embossing folder. I love the die cut sentiment too. I'm sure your friend (and mine) will love it.
Gorgeous embossing, Loll, and I love the yellow flowers atop!
I see your bonny little friend received and loved her sunny birthday card, Lolly! I love it, too! It's perfect for a special summer birthday and your new e/f makes a fantastic background! Thank you for playing with my IDEAS this week📌 and linking again to NBUS! Hugs, Dolly
