Mills and Boon Birthday

Welcome

This was a card I taught at a recent class - we revisited inking scrunched up printed paper (this time from and old Mills and Boon type booklet) to make a background, and making a rolled flower. 

The paper was crumpled, inked, and then re-crumpled and re-inked - I used Memento Rhubarb Stalk dye ink and Worn Lipstick DI. 

The crumpled and inked paper was trimmed to size, and cut on an angle.  After adhering it, I inked a narrow strip of paper to give a clearly defined edge, using Rhubarb stalk ink, then stamped the greeting (a magazine freebie), starting in the centre then moving out towards the edges.

The flourishes were cut with a Spellbinders die in light green card, and inked through the die.  I trimmed one to fit on the card better, then added the rolled flower (also cut from a Spellbinders die) 

The finishing details were some flatback pearls on the flourish and the bottom right corner, and a generous coat of Wink of Stella.
