Happy Birthday Wonderful Friend!

Happy Sunday!  I had some time to get crafty!  I am poppy in with a card to share.  I am playing along with a couple of blog challenges.  I am playing along with Inspired by All the Little Things, Sunday Stamps, and Seize the Birthday.

For this card I started with some PTI Bitty Big Soft Stone color collection to mimic the subtle stripes in the table cloth from the inspiration photo.  I recently purchased a Decofoil pen and some foil.  I never really got into the foiling trend, but the pen did intrigue me, so I thought I would give it a try. I used a ruler to create  a frame using the pen to make the lines.  I did it a few times pressing and burnishing the foil into the tacky glue line as I went.  I went around the rectangle frame twice.  I am pretty sure this is not how foiling should look, but it was my very first attempt and I really love the distressed look frame I created, so I decided to use it.  

I die cut and stamped the images from PTI Corner Adorner: February Mini stamp set and Corner Adorner: February die.  I used berry sorbet, raspberry fizz, harvest gold, bright buttercup and honey nut inks for the flowers.  I used simply chartreuse and prairie grass inks for the leaves.  I double stamped a sentiment from Penned Elegance stamp set.  The tiny little dots that come in the set I stamped around the flower for a whimsical effect using more berry sorbet ink. I layered this striped panel onto some berry sorbet card stock to mimic the napkin on the plate.  I added all of this to a PTI stampers select white card stock base.  I finished my card with a few clear sequins.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
