Happy Birthday Roses

I loved the way the colors turned out on this card, so bright and lovely. I decided to die cut them with a stitched oval die that I had, but when I went to put it on the cardbase it needed something more. I didn’t have another die that I could use to cut some gold cardstock a little larger and so I decided to use my VersaMark Pen on the edges and heat emboss with gold. I love the way it turned out.
