HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRIS

My friend, Kris, had a birthday on Sunday and this is the card I made for her.  The embossing folder I used is one of the new Sizzix embossing folders.  It is part of the 2 piece set "Flourish, Floral #2 and Flowers #6".  The sentiment is from Make An Impression stamps and was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with Egyptian Gold embossing powder.

The sentiment was cut and embossed with a Spellbinders Classic Oval.  It was then mounted onto a Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Oval of Gold paper.  The picture tends to make it look brown.  The dragonfly is from a set of K & Company stickers that also includes butterflies and bees.

If you are interested in the new Sizzix embossing folders, let me know.  I can now order them for you.

I always love reading comments that you leave so if you are seeing this card in an email, just click on the heading and you will be able to tell me what you think. 

I am so ready for our new carpet to be put down.  We took the old out 17 days ago.  Painting the walls and ceiling has been done for over a week.  Nearly everything was removed from the living room so the old carpet could be taken out.  Almost every room has items in it until we can get moved back in. I've been more patient than I thought I would be but I will thoroughly enjoy having things in an orderly fashion again. 

Thanks for stopping by!
