Greetings! I’m back again today with my second card as the surprise party guest at Seize the Birthday Challenge! This time the challenge is to use an embossing folder on your card or project, and of course, make sure it has a birthday theme. The challenge will be open until July 6 if you would like to join in!
The QUICK and SIMPLE details: The flower image is from Rubberneckers Stamps called “Roses.” It is two stamps, one that makes the black lines, and another solid stamp that fills in the lines. I used Zig markers to color directly on the stamp and blended them together by spritzing lightly with a little water. The background was a from a small strip embossed in a folder from Taylored Expressions called “Leafy Vine.” I added some die cut borders to it and finished it off with a few iridescent pearls.
Additional Challenges:
Cardz TV #143 – anything goes
Watercooler Wednesday #318 – all about occasions
Createful Heart Design Challenge #33 – anything goes
Let’s Squash It! #9 – nature and watercolor
I love it! Love the flowers!

I love texture on cards and what better way to do that than with an embossing folder. I love the addition of the strips on each side of the embossed panel. They are great with a touch of the flower color. Great Idea!
Those pretty colored roses look great with the embossed background
Your layers work beautifully together, gorgeous colours and the embossing makes a great background for the roses, Cathy x

Melanie, I am sorry I am late on stopping by life has been a bit hectic for me. I love the slender embossed panel and your gorgeously colored flowers. Super job once again! Take care.
What a gorgeous card, Melanie! I love the simple and bold color combination and the shading in the flowers! Beautifully done!
I love those Rubberneckers flowers, Melanie! The background colour scheme really enhances the image. Love the embossed panel too.
This is so striking! I love the black card base – it makes the red/orange really pop! Great embossing folder & die for the flower panel.
The colors and design on your card are just perfect. A wonderful card!
Beautiful design, Melanie – very elegant.
