Birthday flowers

A birthday card with some happy, sunshiney colours today to compensate for the dreary weather!

I seem to have a thing about teeny tiny bits of bling - I've been using the tiny gems intended for acrylic nail art for quite a while now and have just added the pearl variety to my stash. The tiny ones in the row above the sentiment are only about 1.5mm across!

This flower lends itself so well to the technique of embossing the outline and then flooding ink into the petals that I'm in danger of never doing anything else with it!

Stamps:
Petite Posies (Technique Tuesday)
Sentiment from Birthday Centers (CHF, retired)

Paper:
Cryogen white
Bazzill bling (Petty Cash)

Ink:
Versamark by Tsukineko
Tim Holtz Distress ink by Ranger (Spiced Marmalade pad and reinker, Mustard Seed reinker)

Other:
Detail white embossing powder by Stampendous
Micro pearls (acrylic nail art supplies)
Tim Holtz Alterations Retro circles embossing folder
Corner Chomper by We R Memory Keepers
Scor-It
Foam tape

Thanks for stopping by!

    What a lovely bright card. I love that embossing folder ad the colour of the flowers is so cheery. Have to admit though I didn't notice the tiny gems until you pointed them out, they are so tiny.

    Gorgeous, gorgeous card. Those colours are amazing together and the little jewels look fab - those tiny things drive me nuts - do you have a hint on how to persuade them on to your cards in the place you want them to be?
