MakInk Studio: Birthday Blog Hop for Julie!!

Happy Saturday everyone~

Today’s card is for a special person with a special reason!! Tomorrow (Nov 20th) is our Flourishes DT Coordinator, Julie Koerber’s birthday and the members of all three Flourishes team (Design Team, Friends of Flourishes and Bring Back Beautiful) planned a surprise party with this fun Blog Hop!! I know Julie will LOVE this surprise :) I hope you will enjoy hopping too! Have a cup of your favorite drink, sit back and enjoy hopping along!

You can visit Flourishes Blog to find out more information about the hop. I also have the entire list of the blog hop on the bottom of this post, in case you want to start from here!

Happy Birthday Julie!! Hope you will have a fantabulous day!!!

For my card, I used Feminine Charm set. The image was colored with Copic markers and it was layered on the red mat and black mat. The edge of the black mat was created with the around edge punches. Using the same punch, I created the border. For the border, I adhered the MME designer paper collection, pleated edge ribbon and swirl rhinestone border. The card was designed with the same designer paper collection and coordinated color cardstock. To finish off, I embellished with the red paper rose and pine needles. The red rose was sprayed with the frost shimmer spritz and DTPed with brilliance white ink to look softer and shimmer :)

I used the sketch from Sweet Stop Sketch (SSS134).

This is the inside of the card.
