FLOATING FLORALS

Hello.
I've been struggling to find time to craft this week,
but when I saw Anita's gorgeous card at MUSE, I really wanted to play along.


This was a quick make for me. I stamped my florals onto my die cut,
heat embossed them, and then used distress inks to blend a background.
I attached a 'happy' sentiment in black card and popped up the 'birthday' on foam pads.



The inspiration I took from Anita's card was from the embossing,
the pink and orange colour combo, and the added splash of black.

I'm not sure what happened with my embossing.
I used a clear embossing powder to try and get a more subtle effect,
but it came out white!!
Maybe that's just the powder I'm using. or is it the Versamark??!!

Supplies.
WPlus9- Feathers and Florals
MFT - Sticthed Scalloped Rectangle Die / Brushstroke Birthday Greetings
Mama Elephant - Labeled Messages
Distress Inks - Pickled Raspberry / Spiced Marmalade

That inked background is so so gorgeous and I'm really going to have to get those MFT scalloped frames that you always use to such gorgeous effect!
