Happiest Birthday

This is a beautiful tree stamp that I received recently. I knew that I would heat emboss it in white, what I was not sure of is the colour I wanted to use for my background. I love inks, and only wish I could have every ink that is available. To help me decide I made the decision of using copper glitter cardstock for part of my sentiment. So, I picked this blue green colour for my background. 

I started by die cutting my panel using the stitched rectangle, then in my Misti I arranged where I wanted the tree, then stamped and heat embossed using white embossing powder. I applied the ink using my Clarity brushes, which applies the ink so smoothly and easily allowing me to lighten the colour as I go. Once I was happy with the look, I die cut and added the "wishing" sentiment using the copper glitter paper. I stamped the rest of the sentiment using copper ink, and die cut with the label die. I added copper metallic drops to finish my card.   

Thanks so much for dropping by today.
