Birthdays and more Birthdays

We tried out the Happy Birthday embossing set by Sizzix and liked the way the birthday medallion embossed. On the first card the embossed brown cardstock looks like a piece of chocolate inked in white. The yellow and blue ones are chalked. Silk flowers, scallop punches, 3 layer butterflies and gems finish off the cards.

More butterfly birthday wishes from Marti with a daisy chain from and EK edger.

Marti's husband is turning 60 this week and here's the card I made for his gambling themed party.  I cut the numbers out with my Silhouette, placing the different colors behind them once it was cut. Poker chips and cards are brads. It's very 3D although it doesn't look it in the pictures.
