This is a birthday card for a good friend's elderly and elegant mother, who is celebrating her 89th birthday today.
The Abundant Joy image is colored with SU! markers and a blender pen, then most of the flowers are covered with the clear Glaze pen for added dimension. The flower centers were colored with the red Glaze pen, to which I added a little DD glitter while still wet. I punched the image out with the SU! scallop circle punch, sponged the edges with Pretty in Pink ink, then pierced the scallops to coordinate with the Martha Stewart border punch. The flower panel is on dimensionals, layered onto Rose Red from a Marvy scallop circle punch and Pretty in Pink from a Nestabilities circle die. The Pretty in Pink layer is also on dimensionals.
The sentiment is stamped with Purely Pomegranate and then I quickly covered it with Iridescent Ice EP and heat embossed.
Along the top of the white panel I used my Scor-Pal to add an embossed line 1/8 inch from the edge to coordinate with the dry embossed scallops in the MS border punch.
