Stampin' Up! Expressions in Ink Birthday Card

Yay, it's Saturday. I hope you have the day off and have an enjoyable weekend planned.

My card today is one we made at our Thursday card group. Meg brought the kit for us. The flower and words were cut from Gold Foil using a die from the Meadows Dies and Well Written Dies (retired), respectively. The words are adhered over a strip of Vellum. Everything is adhered to a panel of Expressions in Ink Designer Series Specialty Paper with some added retired sequins.


Isn't this paper beautiful? It's my first time using it! Our card base, of course, is Basic White.

I finished the inside at home.

I used the Best Year Stamp Set for my sentiment and the Garden Wishes Stamp Set for the flower image. I stamped the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the flower with Memento Tuxedo Black ink because I wanted to color it with Light and Dark Shaded Spruce Blends and Light and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends. I adhered it to a mat of Shaded Spruce cardstock.

I'm entering my card in these challenges:
