glorious birthday…


Happy Birthday to Addicted to Stamps and More!
If you could have seen what I had to do to make this card you would be amazed.
On white card stock, for the main piece, I stamped Tim Holtz “Glorious Bouquet “ using Archival black soot ink in my Tim Holtz stamping platform.
Next I colored the image with Distress paints cracked pistachio, barn door, mustard seed, seedless preserves and spun sugar.
Once thoroughly dry I placed the piece back in my stamping platform and stamped it again with the Archival ink.
Once dry I die cut the main piece with a die from MFT Die-namics “Hand Lettered Happy Birthday” an threw out half the pieces in the centers of the letters… AAARRRGGGGHHHH!
SO I spent the next hour digging through my garbage bin for the pieces.
Why? You may ask…because they matched up to the image!!!
Luckily I found them and on to the next part.
On a white card stock base card I applied black card stock.
To that I applied the main piece and then glued in each of the teeny tiny pieces!
