Well I can finally share this card with you, first attempt at the black background colouring showcased by Stephanie Klauk. Stunning effect, so elegant and very relaxing. I opted to stamp this large MFT stamp; Harmonious Hibiscus in London Fog first using my stamping platform, coloured the flowers, re stamped in watermark and heat embossed in gold. Finally coloured the black background. A strip of vellum, hooray die, HAPPY BIRTHDAY sentiment and a few gems to finish.
Not a quick make but looks gorgeous, I will definitely be trying this effect again soon.
I would like to enter this into the following Challenge -
Passion for Markers - Feminine (I Won & Top 5 placement)!

Am amazing card, so striking and pretty in it's colours and design. Somehow I never think to emboss in gold, it looks so opulent, I must go and find a suitable stamp :)
