Blue Floral Birthday

Playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog and the theme is "Party Time."   You can enter up to 5 times.   Challenge accepted for a chance to win a $25 gift card  Here is my first entry.  

Found a few of my old MFT background stamps which inspired me to make this card.  

I rubbed some weathered wood, tumbled glass, and old paper distress inks onto my craft mat.  I spritzed with water and dragged the card stock through it.  I dried it with a heating tool and repeated that a couple of times.  

Next I used an old MFT Sheet Music background stamp that sadly is no longer available.  I stamped that in black soot distress ink.  

Next I stamped the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the image with Arteza Real Brush Pens.

I heat embossed the sentiment onto some vellum with  some black embossing powder so it didn't get lost in the design.
