Birthday Card for my Nephew

Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made for 

my nephew last month.

I started by embossing some white card with the stitch embossing folder.

Next I trimmed it to the edge of the pattern, and matted it onto

some black card. I then glued it directly onto the card base, adding

some sticky peel-off diamond shapes to the corners.

Lastly, I die-cut the sentiment in black card and black 3D foam,

glued them together and then glued it to the embossed panel.

The items I have used are:

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Pinking Stitch

Penny Black - Happy Birthday

using just an embossing folder and a sentiment die.

glued them together to give some dimension and added to the card base.

I finished the card with two diamanté gems.
