Embossed Floral Birthday Card


Back in October I shared a Mini Slimline sympathy card made with this Slimline embossing folder. I decided to pull it out again and make an A2 sized card with it. After running my cardstock through with the embossing folder I lightly rubbed dye inks onto the raised portion with blending sponges. It's soft and pretty and I was happy with the effect. Quick and easy, too!

Adding a stamped sentiment strip and some glitter dots my card was finished and ready to pop into my nursing home donation bin. I've shown my plastic envelope before in YouTube videos -  it's chock full of birthday sentiment strips. I just make a whole bunch in an evening so I'm not sure of which stamp I used on this one. I just like having them stamped, die cut and all ready to add to a card front.


Here is a peek at the inside ...
