Fine Art Floral Suite is elegant and suitable for a Birthday card. So what, make the suite so elegant.  It’s the  paper that looks to be watercoloured, and the Gilded Leafing embellishment which add that special little bit of gold foil to the various flowers.  And, it expands when you open the jar, so have another larger container near by to dump the foil into.(just a word from someone who knows).  And there is no way to get the foil back in the original jar.

Finish The Birthday Card

•  Attach the designer series paper of your choice to the card base.
• Add the Gilded Leafing Embellishment to the 2nd designer series paper – flowers. Stamp with the VersaMark ink -(direct to paper) or use a stamp that will highlight the different flowers. For some interest, add VersaMark to the paper edges. Sprinkle with Heat &Stick Powder, and heat set with the Heat Tool.
• Take some of the Gilded Leafing Embellishment and apply to the areas where you used the VersaMark and Heat & Stick powder. Brush off the excess leafing with your finger or a tiny brush.
• Attached your gilded dsp to the card base at an angle. Trim even with your card base.
• Cut the Blushing Bride card stock with the smallest Celebration Labels Die. Die cut the sentiment from Whisper White cs. You can use all the words or some of the words. They are not joined together. Attach on an angle to the Blushing Bride label.
• Attach the ribbon with Stampin’ Seal. Put 3 diagonal strips underneath where the label will be. Run the ribbon up and down 3 times.
• Attach Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to the card front. Stamp your sentiment on the inside of card.
