Hello there!
I cannot believe it's already Thursday. It's been a very busy week. We traveled the first few days. Hubs celebrated his 60th for three days. Now trying to get back to regular scheduled programming.
I can't believe it's already the 2nd Thursday of the month and close to mid-month. It's going too fast! And since it is the 2nd Thursday, it's time for a new Topping over at Seize The Birthday. Jenny is our hostess and she chose Embossing for our Topping.
I used a beautiful embossing folder by Catherine Pooler and Sizzix I recently acquired. I inked up the folder on the background side to create that bright and cheerful yellow background and boost those beautiful blooms. I framed in on a lovely scalloped frame cut in silver and added a little silver embossing on some of the dry embossed areas.
If you're not a Toppings person, you can always play in our Anything Goes Birthday challenge each time. Either way, come play along and have fun with us while extending your stash of birthday cards!

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back soon!

What a absolute gorgeous card, Nance! Your color pairing is one of my favs and the delicate frame really elevates this. Well done! You have been extremely busy which is why the past several months are flying by for you. Hope things settle soon.
Nance, such a pretty background to enhance the white embossed flowers. A beautiful card with that delicate frame. Have a great weekend.
It sounds like you and Dave celebrated in good fashion, my friend! What a pretty embossing folder and the bright yellow makes this so happy and uplifting! Your inked background is amazing!
You're a beautiful embossing folder is certainly center On this card but I did not miss that beautiful frame that you put in silver around the edge. I think the yellow makes it a very happy card
So pretty in yellow, and perfectly framed with that delicate scallop, a gorgeous design, Cathy x
The frame is so pretty here and I really like how you added colour and interest to the embossed piece.
I haven't used this technique for awhile so thanks for the reminder. I just love the yellow! Are those little dots all silver embossed? So very pretty Nance!
What a gorgeous yellow! I love the delicate details in the embossing and that gorgeous silver frame looks perfect! Stunning card, Nance!
The yellow and silver combo is stunning, Nance! The embossing is beautiful, and I love the silver frame.
This is beautiful Nance. That yellow really lets pretty white blooms stand out. Love the silver die cut border too and dots of silver on the blooms.
This looks absolutely amazing! The white flowers just pop!!! Absolutely gorgeous card - love it.
