Make a Wish

Today I decided to do the ole mix n match thing, so I combined the Color Combo from Just Us Girls that has a birthday theme with the sketch from 4 Crafty Chicks and the challenge to use birds from Unity Stamp.
Here's my creation:
I just got this embossing folder, I think it's going to be a fav
The pearl centers are from CTMH & I love them, they are tiny
Inside of the card is what I'm usually lacking in but today I give it a little something
The Sketch:
The Color Combo:
Products Used: cardstock, pearls & ink-CTMH: bird, floral & "wish" stamps-Unity (Growing in Unity); flowers-Prima; floral rubons-Fancy Pants; "make a"-CTMH; ribbon-SU

  3. Very nice, I would like to know what the embossing folder is that you used and how did you get that effect?

  4. Hey Barb! I believe it's called Allegro, I purchased it from www.scrapbookpal.com. What I did was emboss as usual using my Texture Boutique, then opened my black ink pad and lightly rubbed it across the raised side, the more you rub the darker it becomes... I wanted kind of an antiqued look so I used varying pressure and strokes. You'll need an ink pad with a raised surface, I recommend either Close to My Heart or Stampin Up, but there are others out there that will work as well.
