Shabby Chic Birthday Card

Hello everyone,

Just a real quick post of a card I made for my best friend's birthday:


I used Cricut Sophisticated cartridge to cut out number 40. The background is created with Prima Finnabair Harlequin stencil and texture paste and when that layer was dry, I dabbed the surface with gesso to mute the colors, I treated the number cutout the same way... The sentiment was printed out on vellum...


I added baby's breath and handmade flowers around the focal numbers cutout...


Prima resin dress form embellishment is peeking behind shabby hand died bow...

I am entering this card into following challenges:

Deep Ocean Challenge #120 "Something New" (Prima resin embellishment is new)

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #267 "Something New" (Prima resin embellishment is new)

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge "Stencil It" (the background was created using stencil and texture paste)

The Sisterhood of Crafters "Something Old, Something New" (Old is the star crystal embellishment and the new one is Prima resin embellishment)

Try It On Tuesday "Letters and Numbers"

I hope you enjoyed this post...

Have a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by...
