Wintery Blue Birthday Wishes

Today's card is made with cool, wintery colors for a friend whose birthday is tomorrow, early in the month of January. The background is almost frosty in appearance because of the silver-flecked tulle laid on top of the blue cardstock background. I found a neat tool at Michael's that I bought and am using today; it is by Recollections, and stamps, embosses and punches in one easy step. How neat is that? It was used on the flowers. I used embossing ink, then embossed with silvery white embossing powder, also by Recollections.

I tried adding a small butterfly to the card, but it was just too much. Sometimes I need to know when to stop.  :o)

These were used to make the card:

EK Success 1 1/4" Scalloped Circle Punch
