Birthday Card

I started with another sketch in mind but once I finished the embossing, I didn't want to cover it.  I like the effect of highlighting the raised part of the embossing. It gives it a different look.  I used a couple of punches for the flowers and stained the edges.  Enjoy!

  6. Lovely card, I really like that you highlighted the background and not cover it. I have that embossing folder and struggle with that. Your flowers and focal point are awesome.
