Hi everyone, our wonderful leader Nancy wants us to use the word celebrate on our birthday cards this round.
Or play along with our anything goes birthday option
Our party guests and my team mates have some great inspiration for you over at the blog, so I hope to see you in the gallery.
These flower heads were diecut from some of them.
Here's a closer look at the shimmer.
The background embossing die has been in my stash for quite a while but this is it's first outing!
I love the stitched detail.
The sentiment is layered up for dimension and the top layer is cut from glossy black cardstock.
(So much easier than embossing the sentiment with versamark ink & clear powder!)
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Cardz 4 Galz, any colouring medium
I've used mica spray stains and diecut the flowers.
Dies: Simon Says Stamp cosmos stem; Waffle Flower celebrate word; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle;
Stampin Up stitched greenery;
Other: Distress mica stains in flickering candle, fortune teller & harvest moon;
peeled paint distress ink; Lawn Fawn reveal wheel friends & family sentiment stamp; versafine nocturne ink & clear ep.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Very pretty, Cathy! You are always so good at adding that sparkle to your cards!
I love the sparkly mica stained flower heads Cathy, so pretty and the the stitched leaf design makes a wonderful background to complement the flowers and some great contrast with the black background card and the celebrate die cut from glossy card is lovely and then the stamped words to finish, just perfect. x
This card might put me over the edge deciding about getting distress mica stains. The shine is gorgeous and those flowers are so pretty. Love that stitched background.
Beautiful card. I love flowers and shine. Great embossing folder. Love the die celebrate. Just love your card. So glad you shared over at Cardz 4 Galz.
Cathy, your pretty flowers are perfect with the mica stains and your Celebrate. Have a great week.
Fantabulous card! Oh those pretty flowers take center stage! Thank you for playing with the All Occasion theme with the Krafty Chicks Challenge.

I love the background and the pretty shimmer on your flowers. What a lovely birthday celebration card. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday. I appreciate it very much, and I hope that you'll visit to share with us again soon. I look forward to it.
Love those flowers against the embossed background quite the card!
I am drawn to this because I love clean and simple cards! this one is awesome, I too love all the sparkle and shine and the amazing background for those two flowers!
Experimenting and making cards at the same time! That must be fun! I do love the look of the shiny die cuts. Make for a gorgeous card!
Fab CAS card, Cathy! Love that subtle stitched leaf background, it adds just enough interest without taking anything away from those gorgeous flowers.
As you probably know, I am not a fan of purples but wow, this mica stain version is absolutely stunning. Beautiful!
Very pretty card Cathy. Love your sparkly flowers.
Your flowers are absolutely stunning! Love them. Terrific sentiment too.
