Birthday Silhouette

 I create the background for this card first.  It took a while for me to decide what to do with it, and decided that a silhouette would be perfect.  Here is the card I made:

I used the following to make the card:

• Distress Oxide - Squeezed Lemonade, Ripe Persimmon, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch
• Gina K - Wild Blossoms
• Gina K - You Make Me Happy
• Gina K - Obsidian Ink

To make the card, I used the Distress Oxide Inks to create the background.  I decided to try blending with my blender brushes, and they worked great with the Distress Oxide ink.  The ink blended so easily.

I stamped the flowers and sentiment with obsidian ink.  The entire panel was trimmed and matted with black.  The entire piece was added to the card base to complete the card.
