Happy Birthday


Lots of foliage to choose from in my garden but I was drawn to the ferns..
  • Inked my two fronds using a brayer and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide and used my hand to press the impression onto my card.
  • When it was partially dry I added some gold embossing powder to heat emboss parts of the leaves
  • Trimmed the panel and die cut a stitched frame using the Poppy Crafts Stitched Flag Tails die - turning the die half way to leave off the tail.  And attached the printed panel to the frame with strips of foam sheet
  • Stamped and gold embossed the sentiment with Happy Little Stampers Fun Birthday Sentiments then attached the framed Botanical print

  



On a roll I made a second card using different fern fronds
  • Inked the frond with Wilted Violet Distress Ink and repeated the above process to gold emboss parts of the print
  • Stamped and gold embossed the sentiment from Hero Arts - Petite Birthday
  • Trimmed the panel and layered with a matching purple border
  • Lasted attached the sentiment with foam tape


I'm joining in the CAS Mix UP October challenge - Botanical Prints and I have also used stamping and heat embossing and also die cuts on the first card.
Thanks for stopping by blog... have a wonderful creative day,  cheers

  2. You are so creative Robyn! I love both of your cards - absolutely beautiful! I think I like the lavender one the best simply because the color is so fetching. I have ferns in our backyard. I might give this a go - right now I am doing a study of pansies coloring them with colored pencils.
    Hope all is well with you and your family - Sandy xx
