UThe petal layers and leaves were die cut from white paper and ink blended with distress inks (DI). When done, splattered them with diluted white gouache paint for some texture.
DI used:
petals - Salwater Taffy, Lumberjack Plaid, Black Soot
leaves - Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn
Next, embossed a Bristol panel with the Traces of Yesterday 3D embossing folder (EF). Love how "timeless" (pun intended) and versatile this EF is! Assembled the card ono a white card base then added a Happy Birthday foil greeting white tab from Memory Box to finish.
