The colour challenge today is Rich Delight in Bermuda, using Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight and Bermuda Bay. I used colours as close to those as I have in coordinations cardstock. I have a happy birthday die-cut, but it is inside the card - does that count? I embossed the razzleberry and then sanded it to lighten it up a bit. Used a very old happy birthday script stamp that I inked with the bermuda bay and spritzed with water, then distressed the edges before mounting on the daffodil matting. I coloured my stamp with markers and spritzed with water before stamping, then added highlights using the colours mixed with water, and distressed the edges. I am making this for a friend who is not fussed about fussy - not a bow girl, I am even pushing it by adding the glitz of the sequins. I tried some buttons, nope! So back to the sequins and a few pearls, along with some butterflies heading for the flower - she will like that. Thanks for looking ...

Lovely b'day card, Kia. You did a lot of steps in creating the lovely effect with sanded embossing in addition to your beautifully done main floral panel. I like the sequins too.
