Happy Birthday

Hello! Last week when my Nana was here visiting she was looking through the Sophie cricut cartridge and fell in love with this rose. So I cut it out and made a quick card for her to take home with her. I cut both layers of the rose out of white cardstock. I used tons of distress inks to color it up. Sorry, but I don't remember all of them. I then did some spritzing with copper perfect pearls and water in a mini mister.
I just quickly hand cut the leaves and stamped them with the Script Type Backgrounds from MyCreativeTime. I again used a bunch of distress inks to color them up. Flicked on some water while the ink was still really wet to get the splotchy look. I embossed the back panel with the Textile cuttlebug folder. The sentiment is from the Gift Card Sentiments set also from MyCreativeTime
