Pink Birthday


We had one of our grandsons here a couple days this week. One day we went into my stamping room for just a little, tiny bit. He picked up my brayer and was playing with it and asking what it was. I showed him one thing it was good for was brayering color on an embossing folder. That was about as much interest as he had! :) But, of course, I then had to use the piece that I had just made, so that was the basis of this card. The folder I used was by Darice - "Chicken Wire,"  I believe - my favorite. I added two layers of Washi tape and matted it with black. The lady bug is from a new-to-me Hero Arts set. (I think I have used butterfly stamps from it on my blog already, and you will be seeing more of them in the next few days.) I stamped and cut it out using a die from the set. The sentiment panel is mounted on foam squares.

For the inside sentiment, I printed the words on my laser printer and used foil. I got lots of foil for Christmas, so I really need to use some of it up!!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

  1. Wow! That really turned out great! I haven't inked up an embossing folder for a long time. Maybe I'll give it a try again for some Easter cards. It makes such a pretty background. Hope you're having a good weekend.

  2. Oh, so pretty! I'm immediately drawn to the pink ladybug and the layered Washi tape. Your foiling is amazing, too! I've seen some background techniques using a heat laminator that are super pretty. Nice that someone gave you all that foil for Christmas!
