Today's card was one I made for a very special lady. The founder of Stampin' Up!, Shelli Gardner, turned 50 this week. As a surprise for her we were all asked to make a birthday card to send to her that would be presented to her in a big box full of everyone's cards. I based my card on this card.
I had to keep it relatively flat for postage to the USA, so I didn't tie a bow in the ribbon and I only popped one layer up on Dimensionals.
I stamped the flower, colouring it with my markers to get a multi coloured effect. I then stamped the large image in the stamp set over the top in Versamark Ink and clear embossed it. You can see the shine from the embossing in the photo above.
I kept the inside fairly simple, just a sentiment and a little flower stamp to match the background I stamped on the front of the card.

Lovely, so pretty and love the clear embossing too, I think Shelli is going to love all her birthday cards from all over the world.
