HAPPY BIRTHDAY LORI

Welcome to our
BIRTHDAY BASH BLOG HOP
Today is Lori McCroskey's Birthday. Lori is the owner of Clear Dollar Stamps. We, her Design Team, love her and are so happy to be on her team. To show our love we planned this surprise for Lori.
How does this work? Well...it starts on the CLEAR DOLLAR STAMPS BLOG HERE. Design Team members made cards for Lori using Clear Dollar Stamps. You can go from blog to blog viewing these works or art. I know you will find lots of inspiration today on our Birthday Bash Blog Hop for Lori.
So...since you are here...that means you came from JOAN'S blog. Right? If not...why not start at the beginning on the CDS blog HERE.
Here is the card I made for Lori
Happy Birthday Lori
I consider myself blessed to be on your Design Team
This card is just for YOU
Now hop on over to STACY'S blog.
The details about my card are below:
I started with my black panel 5x5". I punched the corners then the top and sides, not bottom with Martha Stewart's Around The Page Butterfly corner and border punches.

The front panel is 4 x 4 1/2". I stamped the flowers from PEONY with Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I masked the stamp so I only got the top of the flower. Next I sponged over using first Bashful Blue going heavier on the sides. Then I used Tempting Turquoise followed by Pacific Point on the edges. The Pacific Point was heavier on just the edge. I went all over with Bashful Blue one more time. Then I put the panel in my Cuttlebug using CB embossing folder hound's tooth. Then I used Tim Holtz Blending tool and Tim Holtz distress ink Walnut Stain on the edges. I love how it makes the embossing stand out more. I then hand stitched my border. Lastly, I stamped just the flower top again on a separate piece of white CS and colored, sponged with distress ink then embossed with same folder and popped up on card. For the sentiment I punched my label from white CS, stamped sentiment, sponged and embossed. Then popped up.

Behind the black I adhered my 4x 4 1/2" card. And there you have it.
