Make a Wish... birthday card

A quick post before I head off to our Crochet Group this morning....

I enjoyed the process for the CAS Mix Up October challenge - Blackout Embossing    and finding this other 3D embossing folder in my stash... I just had to see how it would look.

It is also Week 3 of Darnell's IDEAS Prompt - "E" = Embossing Folders

I blended the creamy colour distress oxide ink on white card positioning it approximately where the dandelion would be, then embossed it and used the brayer to apply Salty Ocean DO.  To finish I add a touch of gold gel pen to the seeds and a stamped embossed sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.... have a wonderful day,   Cheers Robyn
