Welcome
I would like to extend a warm welcome to my latest follower, Loll from
Her work is amazing and I am humbled that she is following me.
With this card I was again suffering from lack of mojo, so I started with a panel that I had stenciled some time ago
After ensuring that it would look o.k. on the green card, I decided to add the embossed edging - despite my best efforts to avoid it, the folder left an impression down the middle of the card....
So the feature panel was to be moved to the right to cover it, but the gap on the left was too large to ignore, so out came the clear rhinestones, and that was overcome.
Ah - a sentiment was needed, so I decided to use silver embossing as it fitted with the clear rhinestones, and then I decided to emboss the edges of the panel as well....
All in all I was pleased with the end result.

Oh I have that side embossing folder, it's so pretty love your gorgeous card Maxine.xx{aNNie}
Hi Maxine, a great card, I can't believe you have lost your mojo! On first look I thought the silver edge was behind the stencil panel. A great tip to emboss the edges. Have a wonderful week... Megan

Lovely creation - so nice with the delicat flowr folder!
Happy day Maxine!
Maxine, this birthday card is beautiful! Love the flowers!
The card is beautiful. Is that a vertical stamp for the words? If so, where did you find it. I have been hunting some. Love your cards.
Looks like your Mojo was revived a bit- just beautiful, love your classic embossing- both the dry & Silver!
Gorgeous card!Thanks for joining us at ScrapbookStampSociety Challenge.Good Luck and Hope to see again.Gr.Kaija Dt-member
It's very sunny & cheery, and I love the combo of colors. The stenciling colors spark the green shades of the card base. Loved the way you've fixed the 'crease marks'. That's always a problem for me using a border folder, and your fix was clever and added a lot of bling. Glad that Loll found you...she's amazing in her creativity. Also a very sweet & generously kind lady. TFS & Hugs...blessings as well.
that embossed border is adorable Maxine
I love the coloring of the flowers too
sweet card you have made again Maxine
I feel this card has an oriental flair to it. It's really cool and you did that embossing folder proud. I don't do much with mine... envelope flaps... so I find this very clever.
A very sunny card, I love the embossed panel too. Thanks for linking up at Sunny Day Crafting! ~DT Janice xx
Such a gorgeous card! It came out great and balanced, and the rhinestones added this lovely bling effect!

Beautiful! Love the combo of embossing and the sunny flowers! Hope you have a good week!
Very Pretty card Maxine! IS the flower a stamp or a stencil??
Love it!!

Really beautiful card Maxine. Lots of beautiful and special touches you've added with the dry embossing and heat embossing on the edges of your stenciled panel. Great job! xx
Very pretty and all the details are great! Thanks for playing along with us at CYPC!

Loving the brightness of this card and how clever to disguise the rhine stones. Great! Sorry for not visiting earlier - was away on vacation to an island in Malaysia. Came back a week or more ago but could not find time to blog.
Hope you are well,
Monica with love
Beautiful card Maxine! Love the bright spring green, so fresh and eye catching. That embossing design is the perfect choice to match your beautiful floral image and I just love the touch of bling!! happy weekend :)
Just gorgeous, I love the embossed flower. Reminds me that I should use mine. Thanks, for sharing.
Very sweet Maxine. The embossing down the edge is lovely
Not surprised you are happy with the result Maxine. Love how you overcome the little things that were sent to test you, we crafters can always manage to overcome these things somehow.
Thinking of you and your family
