Scored and folded my cream toned card.
Layered a piece of light green Bazzill cardstock.
Die cut the largest stitched
rectangle from white cardstock and lightly hit the edges with
Distress "Broken China". Adhered to card front.
Created the center piece: Die cut the
"Happy Birthday from white cardstock. Placed it under my "Swirly
Flourish" (Elizabeth Craft Designs) stencil on white cardstock.
Sponged the upper 2/3's with the broken china and the lower 1/3 with
"Mowed Lawn". Removed the stencil and words. Sponged
heavily on the words with "Picked Raspberry" and clear
embossed. Love the speckled look of the letters.
Die cut the stenciled background with
the next long stitch stitched rectangle in size. Hit the edges with
the broken china and mowed lawn. Wrapped a piece of satin green
ribbon and tied a bow. Adhered the bow with a hot glue tool. Then
adhered the letters with white glue.
Stamped the first part of the quote
using Versafine "Black Onyx" and clear embossed. Adhered 3
very small black rhinestones.

On the inside: Stamped
the rest of the quote masking the first couple words using the black
and clear embossed.
Stamped the
"Bluebird" (Elizabeth Craft Designs - Bianca Petroschi)
with a very juicy black pad, stamped on to a piece of clear lino
(Jack Richeson Easy Cut Clear Lino), creating a reverse image, then
stamped that onto my card and clear embossed. (PS you can use a
clear acrylic block or a piece of rubber). Colored with Prisma
colored pencils.
Used the 2nd smallest
long stitch Stitched Rectangle die with my tan mat to emboss the
design but not cut it. My clear acrylic plate was placed shy of the
bird image so it didn't emboss the whole rectangle. Then sponged
some of the broken china around the edges, highlighting the
stitching.
