Retro Happy Birthday

I should be cleaning my studio, but instead I made a card with things I found on my studio table.  

I saw that the Seize the Birthday Challenge was to use an Embossing Folder (and re-stocking my masculine birthday cards is also on my To Do List), so I grabbed the Tim Holtz Retro Cirque Embossing Folder and embossed the piece of yellow cardstock from yesterday's card.

After Embossing, I grabbed some Crackling Campfire Distress Ink and a domed foam applicator to bring out the embossed texture.  Next I sprayed with Avery Elle Clear Shimmer Spray (which reacts subtly with the inked surface).

I grabbed scraps of cardstock and put my card together using the Sunday Stamp Sketch.  For my sentiment, I grabbed a scrap of designer paper outlined with my Fude Ball Pen (love these pens) and finished with some Simple Stories Birthday Blast Stickers.

I'm pretty sure I could make cards for days with just the items that need to be put away on my studio tables … back to cleaning.

  2. Such a bright, fun, and happy card! I love how your embossing adds texture and sets off the other features of the card. Thanks for joining Sunday Stamps this week.
