Sweet Birthday


MIM this week is hosted by Danielle Flanders,
and she masterfully blends her inks over embossing.
You can see the video on Nichole's blog here:

Ink blending allows such rich depth of color.
Danielle makes it even richer with her embossed script stamps.


It's been awhile since I've inked up Nostalgic Notions. I love the vintage feel, and 
already had the scallop edge frame cut. 
I used this go-to card pattern from Danielle 
that came with Stamp-a-Faire 2015.


'Happy' and 'birthday' from One Big Happy.
PTI Inks: Lovely Lady, Hibiscus Burst, Pure Poppy, Spring Rain,  Bright Buttercup
I love this technique, know I'll use it often!

    This card is lovely, Nancy! Your embossing in several colors accents the Notions so well. Those Nostalgic Notions are an adorable set!

    What a lovely card Nancy!! Your ink blending is just beautiful and this whole card just shouts HAPPY!! The only thing I don't like about your card is that I never thought I needed the Nostalgic Notions kit, and seeing cards like this makes me realize how wrong I was...grrrr! Beautiful, beautiful card!! :0)

    What a beauty, this card is Nancy! Nostalgic Notions is such a fun, vintage set and your background using the stamped image is perfect! I do love me a vintage-y card. Do you mind if I pin this for future inspiration? ;0)
