I was trying to be clever about my post title. I don't think it worked. I feel like it's a fail. Oh, well! The meaning of it is that I have 2 birthday cards to show you tonight! ;)
The first card uses a digi image from
Beccy Muir that I've colored in with Stampin' Up! inks using blender pens. Shaded with a bit darker color, as you can see! To create a faux cross stitch feel, I ran the image through the Sizzix purse with the lattice embossing folder from SU! as well. Then I added the glitter. Some ribbon, pearls, glitter gel pen accents on the sentiment, and patterned papers and VOILA! C'est fin! ;)
Here it is~

This second card uses the black magic technique. I also added some glass glitter, some stickles, rhinestones, and some rolled flowers made with a border punch from SU!. They're teeny tiny, but they look so purdy, don't you think? I also used the same border punch for the border down the side of the main black panel (look to the left). I just love border punches! This is the first time I made these teeny flowers, and I may write a tutorial on it for a new Technique Tuesday! For more info on Technique Tuesday, go here. :)
Here's the card~

I'm entering this card into these three challenges~
Thanks for stopping by--not much more to say, so happy stamping!!! :)
