Made the numbers pp by sprinkling two shades of pink color burst on an embossing folder then spritzing with water. This was the third generation of glossy paper that got dry embossed. The first two are quite hot pink. Distressed the edges of the numbers and paper with a sponging of gray ink once it was trimmed to size. Added a piece of red glitter ribbon with just a tiny revel. Mounted on light gray cs that was dry embossed with stiff wallpaper for the look of linen. Sentiment was cut on Silhouette in white cs and adhered. Dot of the i is white glossy accents. All are mounted on white cs base.

What a fun card! Did you make the glossy accents white? Subtle is sometimes what you need, though I look forward to seeing what you do with the first two hot pink pieces. You come up with ingenious ways to do things. It’s so fun that you tell us how you did them, so we can try new things, too.

No, the white is actually white. Putting the color burst on the folder was fun and interesting to see where the colors go. Thanks for your interest and support.

Great card. The wall paper really adds interesting texture. The numbers EF is perfect for a birthday card – the recipient can choose their age.

I do spritz the cs with water before I dry emboss but the texture is amazing for thick textured paper on cs.

Love the vintage look of the numbers panel, and the embossed texture you got with the wallpaper is amazing. Love the clean, white greeting on your background panels; it really pops!
