(2020 c094) Hero Arts Birthday Shaker

The flower is from Hero Arts CM259 Peonies . I stamped with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with Gold Ranger Embossing Powder and “painted” them with Distress Inks by Ranger . The clear cover was created following Jennifer MdGuire’s Embellished Windows Technique. (using laminator sheets) Check out her blog post and she has a Great video Tutorial. I had fun following Jennifer McGuire’s Die Cut Letterpress Technique video to create the background. I created the DIY Letterpress by cutting 3 pieces of heavy cardstock with Spellbinders S5-154 Botanical Swirls cover die (it is an older die and appears to be discontinued but you can find many big dies that would work). I inked with Versamark and heat embossed with Antique Linen Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glaze. On the inside I glued the sentiment Pink & Main Happy Birthday PNM200 .
