Black and White Birthday Card.

This was a card for a friend. I thought I would take a chance and do a black and white card. The photo does not do it justice. It was actually a very bright card. I know the sentiment is not centered correctly BUT I learned a couple of things making this card.

1. Using white EP on black cardstcock is VERY tricky. I was going to stamp the sentiment right on the card but getting a clean embossed image without all the little white bits was too hard. I bought an embossing buddy thing from Michael's that helped, but it was still very tricky. I used a very small brush to try and get the stray EP powder off before I heated it.

2. Black cardstock is very fussy about where you put your fingers. I left fingerprints ALL over it. I tried handling it by the edges but it messes up really easily.

Anyways, that said I liked the card.

I know black and white are not very birthday like but what the heck.

I am addicted to embossing vellum at the moment.

I stamped the flowers in Versamark on vellum and embossed them with white EP. I was going to put drops of liquid glass in the centers but settled on clear buttons. It looked like dew!

Enjoy!
