Happy Birthday-Cluster Stamped Sentiment


Hello friends! I wanted to play along with the current MIM which is cluster stamped sentiments. This card is my second attempt as my first one failed miserably and went into the trash! Does that ever happen to you? I completely changed stamps for my cluster stamping and I must say I love how this one came out!

I embossed my sentiment (Think Big Favorites 12) in Versamark and embossed in clear powder. My first attempt I used white and the ink just doesn't rub off well. I then chose the tiny flower pair from Happy Hexagons and stamped in Soft Stone, Blush and Heavenly Blue (CTMH) dye inks. For my little tiny dots I used the trio from Harvest Berries. Once I was done I just didn't feel the sentiment popped enough and wanted to pull a bit of green in so I took a tiny leaf from Mini Blooms and stamped in Simply Chartreuse just around the sentiment. 

I added a super thin black mat to give it a bit of contrast, machine stitching and some tiny felt blooms I made using dies. I hope you like it and thank you so much to those who take the time to leave a comment, really brightens my day! See you soon :)
