Welcome to the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop!  This month we are doing something a little different.  We are using a sketch designed by France Martin.  Here is the sketch.

Isn't it a great sketch?  Lots of possibilities.  Here is what I came up with based on the sketch.

If you follow my blog you know how much I love this stamp set, Birthday Blooms.  Here's what I did.  I first embossed the image using white embossing powder on Shimmery White card stock.   I colored in the flower using Elegant Eggplant and Pear Pizzaz ink refills and an Aqua Painter.  I then fussy cut around some of the image and then used a square framelit to cut the rest.  The image is layered on Basic Black card stock and Silver Foil paper.

 I also used 2 new Sale-A-Bration items that will be available February 16-March 31 on my card.  The first is the Party Pants stamp set.  The sweet little sentiment is from that set.  The second is the Metallics Glitter Tape.  This tape is fabulous.  You get 3 rolls of glitter tape, one of each color.  The colors are gold, silver and white.   I used a strip of the silver tape on the inside of my card.

You will have to use your imagination a bit to really appreciate how lovely this tape is.  It looks more like Silver Glimmer paper except it comes on a roll and is 9/16" wide.
