Say it with a Birthday hat!

It’s my mom-in-law’s birthday in a few days & I made this for her. She doesn’t check this blog so it is OK (I hope) to post this early :)

This has the dry emboss technique – which I read online. Have a look at this link on "from my ink pad to yours" for further details.

What took me the most time is what embellishment to add – stones or ribbons or glitter.

Thanks for dropping by.

    Hey Jaya, lovely card. Sure your mom-in-law will like it :-)

    Which stickers are you asking about? Some stickers we do get at Hobby Ideas and other stores here in Mumbai; others I won at a blog candy some 6 months back. :-)

    Love,
    Smita
