A change form the Christmas cards today with a birthday card with a real autumnal feel.
I started by adding rude and copper izink pigment ink pads to the flat side of my winter trees embossing folder. I embossed this to give the letterpress look where the deep red is at the top but fades down the scene. This leaves the trees showing in white. Next I added clear sparkle embossing powder over the top ( as i used pigment ink i was able to heat emboss over the top) I heat set this which adds the clear coating with a sparkle in it.
I simply added the press cut happy birthday over the top shadowed with white and copper. O matted and layered the piece using white, copper and deep red card.
Enjoy...
Morning John, a gorgeous birthday card.
