Stampin’ Up! Birthday Girl card

Yesterday i shared with you a boy birthday card so today i thought id share with you a female birthday card – The card is made by heat embossing the sentiment in clear or white powder i used clear.. I then used my blender pen with my in-colour ink pads to colour across the sentiment to reveal it… I saw the idea on Pinterest

The Sentiment comes from the Apothary Art stamp set teamed with the ‘youre the best’ stamp from Hello, Lovely stamp set

Thank you for coming by today, i hope you all have a lovely weekend and I hope to see you back here on Monday for a new Challenge from Make My Monday
