This is the birthday card I made for my fab SU! demo Joanne. I have a thing for easel cards and I wanted to try one made with the Top Note die. I took my colour combo from the Spice Cake DSP I used. When I tried the plain Pool Party CS on the bottom half I didn't like it just plain but then I wasn't sure I wanted to emboss it with a folder. So to just add some texture I crumpled the CS and then lightly brayered Soft Suede ink over it. It produces a very shabby effect but I have to say I liked it!
I've inked the edges of almost everything with Soft Suede ink and a sponge dauber. I added a glimmer brad to the centre of the flower. I punched a Soft Suede Eyelet Border and added that to the Pool Party sentiment strip. I've added 3 tiny More Mustard flowers with jewel centres and I popped the sentiment strip up.
