This is a 21st birthday card for a friends daughter.
I just followed the instructions for SC213 (Sketch Challenge) in the Card Sketches Forum.
I cut the BG shape out using the square nesties (just larger than the image) then embossed it. I kept the die on while I stamped the Birthday Wishes image in Versafine Black ink. Then I removed the die and watercoloured the image using the Watercolour Wonder Crayons. I watercoloured the embossed edge to make it stand out and I used the Purple Ice Stickles on the wavy embossed edge to add some bling to it. To the long, wide piece of CS, I embossed it with the Paisley CB, EF, and then swiped it with White ink. My embellishment is the simple HB stamped image cut out and stuck on.

That purple is so striking. I love the bling you added to the edge too. Great card.

Very elegant card. I just love stickles and it looks great the way you put it on this card. I love the background too. I am confused about why you left the die on while you stamped the image. I will have to play with that one.

Ok, so I'm a little biased, I love PURPLE, and think this is a great card!! I really like what you did with the embossed part! Love the sparkles on the border!!
