Seize the Birthday - Texture!

Are you ready for a new Challenge this month? 

 Here it is. TEXTURE! 


Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!

Here is my card for this texture challenge. 

 I started with a Sea Glass Cardstock and a 3D embossing folder from Sizzix called Botanical.  It sure leaves a great impression.  I did the envelope too, as you can see. I ran my silver ink pad over the raised parts of the embossing.  Then I die cut the Memory Box Freida Curve from silver paper and added that to the side of the card. The Altenew Persian Motif is the flower that you see on the silver circle. A bit of silver ribbon across the front and a sentiment embossed on the front, and it was done.


Don't forget the inside of the card too.  It doesn't have to be fancy, 
just a die cut make it better. This one is PTI Mixed and Mat Pretty Brackets.

    Beautiful colors here, love the silver and sea glass together. Great way to highlight that textured background with the silver, and I really like that border die cut. Stunning, as is your beautifully colored flower. This card is just so lovely.

    Beautifully created with gorgeous colors and the silver on the embossing is genius!! Of course I always love when you include your matching envelopes and finish the insides as well, something I need to do more often!!

    Oh wow! Doesn't your embossing look like one of those tin ceilings? This is gorgeous all over and I love the texture on the envelope flap too. I notice you have been making more and more envelopes, you're clever to make the set right there and then! Love the design and that gorgeous die cut....WOW!
