Happy Birthday- S:CY and CWC

Today is my mom's birthday and I made a card a couple of days ago for her. I used the current card sketch at Sketches: Creatively Yours. I made this card using all small scraps! I adhered the strips directly to the card front after I edged them with gold ink. I dry embossed the whole front of the card(I am really enjoying that technique right now) and then ran my gold ink pad over it to add some highlighting.

I also used the current challenge at Cooking With Cricut which was "Bling, Bling, and More Bling"- right up my alley! As I said above, I used gold ink, two of the papers I used have gold on them, I did some heat embossing, used some Stickles and some gems. I used the Storybook cartridge for the flower.
