Dad's Birthday Card

Hi Crafty Friends,

I've been missing in action for over week, very unlike me but my company, Flourish with a Bling did a craft show all last weekend and my daughter is doing her Deb ball next week and there has been no time to craft sob sob. Until now, woohoo hehe! I have made my dad a Birthday card first off, I had to get the urgent cards made before I can just create for fun :)

I used a Happy Birthday stamp and some black embossing powder to create the sentiment then I coloured it in with a silver pen and added black pen to the right hand side of the letters to make them more 3D. Behind them is an embossed silver sheet, please don't look too closely as I think the embossing is back to front, I really must remember to be more careful with this embossing folder as this is the 2nd time I have done it where the bits indent rather than protrude out. To give the cogs a blackened silver feel I first lightly sprinkled some black embossing powder over the cog and then sprinkled the silver over, I didn't want them looking to silver shiny and new.
