Typography Birthday

Welcome

Yes....you guess it!!  

Another inked background from my stash became a card today.

This one had some faint stenciling done with embossing powders and my Distress Oxide inks.  

You can see some hints of the stenciling in the background done with a resist technique.

I will do my upmost best to remember what the heck I did since I didn't write on the back of this one!!  I need to get better at doing that.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• Background- Like I said, I will try my best to remember what I did with the layers.  I inked the panel with Broken China and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide inks.  I laid on the Floral Stencil from Tim Holtz over the inking and pressed on some Versamark ink and then clear heat embossed it to create a resist.  I inked over that with some Dusty Concord DOX ink and rubbed away the ink over the embossing to reveal the flowers.  I splattered with water to lift some of the ink too. I added some stamping with some Salty Ocean DOX ink along the edges with the Reverse Squares from AALL and Create.  At that point, I didn't know what I wanted to do with it, so threw it into the basket where it sat until today.  
• I just recently picked up this embossing folder called Typewriter by TH and if you saw my post from Monday HERE, I decided to emboss and then sand off the top layer of the colour to reveal the letters....love the look!!
• I die cut a circle that I wanted to use for the sentiment and stamped on the sentiment with some Versafine Clair Noir ink using my Misti.  I clear heat embossed that as well to help make it pop.
• I die cut the flowers called Dandelion Posies from some white cardstock and set aside.
• I glued the inked background onto a piece of white cardstock, then onto a heavy white card base, then glued on the flowers and pop dotted the circle greeting over onto the other side. 

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
