I needed a birthday card for the Tech4Stampers blog hop today. I had started a card using the Naturally Gilded Specialty designer series paper that will be available on March 1st. I needed to add a sentiment so here is the result. The card base is thick Basic White 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. The next layer is from the Brushed Metallic cardstock – I used the copper – 5 1/4 x 4. Next I added a piece of the Naturally Gilded Specialty DSP that is 5 x 3 3/4. Next I die cut a piece of the copper (3 1/2″ square) using the circle die from Irresistible Blooms dies. I attached a slightly smaller square of Basic White to the back of the die cut. Then I embossed the sentiment with copper embossing powder and stamping in Versamark ( I did remember to use my embossing buddy – Yea). I attached the square with dimensionals to the card front.

The Irresistible Blooms dies and the Naturally Gilded Specialty designer series paper will be available for you to order on March 1st. If you would like to get it sooner please consider joining my team. The paper is quite lovely and comes in three colors – copper, silver and gold.
