I made a birthday card for my favorite cousin. I used the color combo from Vicki's challenge, and Jan's technique. I started by embossing the grey background with Tim Holtz embossing folder and using Jan's tecnique stamped the Linen bg stamp with a grey ink. Colored my image with copics and used distressed stickles on the flowers and the centers are viva pearl pen. Stamped the sentiment with smokey grey. Added a circle that was stamped with a wheel stamper. Added a butterfly and ribbon. tfl It's raining cats and dogs here. Good day to get caught up on the challenges.

OMG! Viva Pearl Pens! I'm so excited to learn about them! I just went to all of the craft stores near me searching for a specific color of pearl, this will work perfectly. Thank you for using them so I could discover this product. Oh, and your card is beautiful too!
