{DT} - Birthday Wishes

Hi my sweet blogging friends and happy Friday :-)

Today I have a simple card without any patterned papers.

I created the card for the 'Stamp It! Cards Week Challenge' at Moxie Fab World.



I stamped the flower image (Penny Black) twice on kraft cardstock: Once with opaque white Staz On ink and a second time with Versamark ink. I then colored the image slightly using some watercolor pencils and added a tad bit of Stardust Stickles here and there. 

I wrapped some gorgeous crinkled seam binding in 'Elderberry' (I {heart} the color!) from Sew Sweet and also tyed a double bow with the seam binding. I decorated the center of the bow with a button from the 'Spring mixed Button Bag' from Sew Sweet. To secure the button to the bow I used some 'pink button twine' from American Crafts.

The sentiment (from Inkadinkado) is stamped with brown Versafine ink and for the finishing touch I inked the edges of the kraft card base using some 'Moonlight White' Brilliance ink. 

That's it :-)
