I added another birthday card to my stash by combining these 2 challenges. I really dug deep into my stash for this one, using some SU! glossy photo paper and a very old Rubber Stampede floral image that hasn't seen ink in years! I stamped the Baroque Motifs (SU!-R) with Versamark ink and embossed it with white ep, then sponged pink & yellow inks in a random fashion. The flowers were done using 2 very old pattern papers from a DCWV pad, and I added some Kasier pink pearls to the yellow flowers, and yellow pearls to the pink flower. I punched the pink border underneath the flowers with a MS doily punch, but then covered most of it up with the flowers. The yellow ribbon is from Pizzazz Aplenty while the Pretty in Pink striped ribbon (another oldie I've been hoarding) is from SU! I stamped the sentiment with CTMH grey wool ink in keeping with the soft pastel look.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you a fabulous day!
