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
Memory Box Lorelai Leaf and Lorelai Leaf Outline
Sentiment from Internet
Recollections Flower Stamp/Emboss/Punch Set; Sparkling Embossing Powder
Silver-Flecked Tulle
Iridescent Sequins
White Doily
Silver Wire-Edged Double-Looped Ribbon Bow
Rhinestones



Iridescent sequins and silver-flecked tulle:

Romans 10:9-11If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. NLT
