It is the fifth Thursday of the month, so the whole team is playing this week. Of course, our theme is still birthdays, but I always prefer a nice, all occasion type card for birthdays. I feel better when I can write in anything I want.
For this card, I used two different techniques. First up, I pasted
LM2011 Poppy Circle with
Metallic Copper Embossing Paste. While it was still wet, I sprinkled on some Metallic FX in

FX 10 Kiwi, and
FX 17 Navajo Sky. I let them dry for awhile, but then got a little impatient, and used my heat gun to speed the process. It caused a few little bubbles on the surface, but I really liked it. When everything was completely dry, I rubbed off the excess Metallic FX with a Swiffer refill. Here is a little detail shot:
While the paste dried, I ran the
LJ 901 Mosaic Swirls Stencil through my Cuttlebug with
yellow coated aluminum and the
Stamping Details Rubber Embossing Mat. After the embossing, I simply sanded off a little of the gold color.
With the addition of some May Arts ribbon and a little card stock, I was finished.
Thanks for stopping by today. Try making something yourself and upload it to the Dream It Up! Blog for your chance to win a great prize. For inspiration, be sure and check out the other team members this week at the following links:
