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!!
