Papertake challenge: Dawny's sketch 5 + Cuttlebug 12: sand the embossing

This is the sketch on Papertake this week:



I decided to combine this with Cuttlebug challenge 12: sand the embossing.

And, having made a few very quick cards, this one took me quite a bit longer!

As you can see, I used two different Cuttlebug embossing folders and inked them before I then sanded (have often done it the other way round, but quite like the effect of this). The strip across the bottom is DCWV pocket full of posies and the embossings are mounted on HOTP papers. The flower stamped image is a Dawn Bibby one, stamped with Brilliance pearlescent purple and embossed, as are the edges of the 'Happy Birthday' flower. The base card is a pale lilac.
