The black panel? It was created MONTHS ago (#truth) using a Hero Arts stencil and some matte embossing paste which I colored black - just mixed the embossing paste with some black ink.
I stamped and embossed the flowers from WPlus9 Kind Soul onto a water color panel from my stash and then trimmed by hand. It was a bit too big for my panel, so I cut it down and mounted a smaller portion at the bottom to kind of 'wrap around' the happy birthday sentiment. The happy was cut with a Heidi Swapp die, the 'birthday' was black embossed on a white strip of paper. I threaded the paper through the first 'p' and the 'y' of the word happy. Before cutting apart the flowers, I spritzed them heavily with some shimmer mist - lots of sparkle! Finished it off by flinging on some paint, some sequins and enamel dots (man, forgot how much I love those enamel dots).
thanks so much for sharing!
