When I was making this card I really didnt think it was going to all come together in the end actually when I did finished I really didnt like it
... But the more it sat there staring at me the more it grew on me .. sooo I took a picture of it and here it is .. This card I dry embossed on whisper white But instead of using the puffy side for my card I turned it around and used the concaved side ( so I guess you could maybe call this reverse dry embossing )
Hee! Hee! anyway I used daubers for applying the classic ink Apricot Appeal, Cool caribbean, and Certainly celery right over top of the concaved area I used the Bodacious bouquet brass template .. I still dont have the stamp set to match BUT one day I must get this set seeing all the awesome goodies every one is making ..CS I used was apricot Appeal and Cool caribbean and whisper white I then of course had to add dazzling diamonds 
to it and then finished off by adding the Happy Birthday from the "Happy Everything " set ... I am really enjoying this set has every occassion I would need BUT I think I really really just like the word Happy in this set something about the way it looks..Hummmm simple I suppose, clean lines I dont know I just like it ..anyway ..
Hubby for some reason got his tape measure out and was measureing everything in my kitchen ..( he may be up to something ?
) I remember when I got home from Convention a couple years ago 2005 Salt Lake Ciyt UT.. was gone for a week well I came home to a new bedroom closet remodel and also the wash room redone with new shelfs .. Not to much he can do in 1 day when I am off to regionals in a few weeks right ? anyway he measured our daughter and here all along I have been telling everyone she is 5'9 well I stand corrected she is 5' 11.5" OH MY she is growing like a weed everyone
. I am for sure the shortie in my family now ..
Until later .....Happy Stampin!!
Well, I like it! TFS!

Those of us related to ya always knew you were the "shorty" in the family! Put on those roller skates and maybe you can pretend to be as tall as the rest of us LOL.
