Happy Birthday Mum!

'Hope you enjoyed your day! I didn't want to post this until after the real post.  So I should be safe now.

Talking of post, I just received this die in time to make my card and I love the lacy effect it gives.  I left it in place while I used my distress inks around the image, Glossy Accents for the hooves, Stickles for the butterfly trails & flower petals, with a sparkly gem centre to finish.

Trying for simple & elegant

 

To that end I've used two colours [& white!] and tied the ribbon in a flat-ish knot.

I purchased the cake die ages ago and final took it out from languishing at the bottom of a basket. I used a Sharpie marker to colour the icing and Glossy Accents for added shine. The glitter strip is left over from birthday party crown making. The gold card and red organza ribbon are new for the occasion.  I've gone with subtle bling, gold embossing, gold glitter strip & gold card.  The card really shines.
It is Clear it out Challenge's first birthday & their challenge this week is a birthday card, use your bling.

The sketch is Jill's from Sketch n Stash Challenge 82 & "Anything Goes" with Avocado Arts at Ribbon Carousel Challenge RCC42
