Happy Thursday and Happy Birthday!

I have a new Birthday card to share with you all today. I received some Diamond Glaze in the mail and thought this would be a fun card to play with it on. I really love the shiny glass like effect Diamond Glaze gives.

This card features a My favorite Things stamp from the You Take the Cake set. I stamped the image several times and then layered for a 3D effect. The dress was paper pieced from coordinating designer paper. All the images were colored with copics and the background of the main image was chalked with SU! pastel chalks. I added Diamond Glaze to the cake, balloons, and stack of presents. The stack of presents is also from the You Take the Cake set and the balloons are from MFT Icing on the Cake. I also added lots of stitching and used my cuttlebug and swiss dots folder to emboss some of the designer paper.

I followed a sketch from Stampavie and changed it up a little. I just love all the details of this sketch, a little more complicated than most but lots of fun and makes for a beautiful card!

I am expecting some Penny Black stamps any day now and can not wait to play with them. You should see some cards popping up on my blog soon using my new goodies!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
