Happy Birthday

A birthday card using the new Dotted Bloom set from Altenew.




I've stamped the flower fairly close to the edge of the card and heat embossed in copper, then partially die cut, cutting the rest with a ruler.  I've literally only touched the image with 2 light pink Prismas because there's a lot of definition on the stamp.

I used a scrappy die cut to cover the flower and used an Altenew stencil and DOX in Spun Sugar to add some interest with blended lines.  The sentiment is one of quite a few included in the set.




I added a black panel splattered with white and used black as the contrasting colour on the main card.  A little sparkle to finish.
