First, I want to say that I got my inspiration from this beautiful card made by Becca at Amazing Paper Grace...here's a photo: http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/wp-...F-219-2008.jpg Thank you so much Becca for inspiring me!!!
I used my Cuttlebug and the new "Leafy Branch" embossing folder on the decorator paper and then I "brushed" over the embossed leaves with "Khaki Dust" Inkredible! Pigment PLUS Inkpad the faint green color. I also used my "Memories" Wheat dye based inkpad on the edges of the decorator papers. I used my PaperMate Eraser pen in the Pen Tool of my Pazzles Inspiration to write "Happy Birthday Pete", using the Pazzles software font called "Helvetica Condensed Engraving", "Old Town Crafts" Ultra Fine Silver embossing powder and my heat gun. "60th" is a "Peel-Off" that was given to my by a friend in the UK. The metal corner and brads are "Spare Parts" I purchased from Hobby Lobby. The ribbon is used is Michael's "Sheer Creations".

That turned out VERY nicely! I like how all of the elements work together so well! You've inspired me to try using some of those metal corner things that I have laying around! :-D
