The embossing folder was a freebie with a magazine, I colored the raised areas with orange, red, green and brown gelatos, sprinkled with water and run it through my Big Shot with kraft paper. Then I added red and gold liquid pearls and stamped a sentiment, which works for birthdays and even other occasions as well: "Wishing you a day filled with smiles and laughter".This card is also for

ReplyDeleteYou are stretching your creative muscle with your scraps, Pia! :D Well done!! This card has a wonderful light inside, and I think that the gelatos in the raised areas of your embossing folder with water drops has been a so clever idea!! Very beautiful result! The cute little monkey has a fun face and pops out very well!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend!
A super card Pia, such a fun image and fabulous background - a brilliant technique.

ReplyDeleteGood for you at using up some more snippets...I'm trying to do that but the stack isn't getting smaller! Love the way you've done the tropical foliage, as it's such an effective background for this cheeky monkey. The foliage colors show up so well against the kraft too. Fun design, and I love these colors. TFS & Hugs.
