Happy Birthday Michelle!

 Happy Birthday to you!!  Happy Birthday to you!!  Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday!! Happy Birthday to you!!  My dear friend, Michelle over at Stampers Dream, is the lucky Birthday Girl today and all of us with the Dream Team are celebrating the occasion.  I pulled together a birthday card using one of the new releases with Flourishes called Waterlilies.

After embossing the lillies in white, I used tombow markers and an almost dry aquapainter to color the image.  It is popped up on Spellbinders Antique Book Plate then popped up again on Spellbinders Labels 4.  The sentiment comes from Flourishes – Flourished Words Stamp set.   Lastly, the sentiment sits on a Spellbinders Labels 1 die template.  Easy Peasy! 

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Flourishes – Waterlilies
Paper:  140lb Strathmore Watercolor Paper, Bazzill

Ink:  Versamark and White Embossing Powder
Accessories:  Spellbinders Antique Book Plate, Spellbinders Labels 4, Spellbinders Labels 1, Spellbinders Labels 1, white embossing powder, ribbon

Thanks for popping by today!   If you get a chance, stop over at Stampers Dream too and wish Michelle a very Happy Birthday!!
