Hello! Parisian Post is still on top of {I'M IN LOVE WITH} pile of stamps. Here is a sweet little birthday card. Light and soft... and almost perfect in every way...
The lay-out was (loosely) based on CAS(E) this Sketch #107.
Thanks for stopping by,
Monika
CRAFTING TIPS:
1. To add texture to my heart, I stamped the flower image with VersaMark and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I sponged the edge of the heart with Crumb Cake ink. It's very subtle, but a nice touch.
2. Layer small elements into a cluster... it gives your card, a nice focal point. I clustered the flower, the butterfly, the postal stamp and thread on top of the heart.
3. Self-adhesive embellishments don't always stick to glitter paper... I usually have to use extra adhesive... like Tombo Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Aleene's Quick Dry Tacky Glue.
Celebration for happy birthday Wishes & Messages to impress beloved one

Oh, this card is a beauty and I love your tips-especially the one about clustering which I never do on my cards but always adore how yours looks. Really like how you embossed that heart before you cut it out-really does add a lot to it.
