Welcome to the stamping Royalty 2013 blog hop. Today I am hopping along with the other 14 winners of the 2013 stamping royalty competition. I'd really like to thank the Paper Crafts team once more for picking my lil'ole'card. :)
Since I am the first stop on the hop, you should have arrived here from the Paper Carfts Connection blog. I will post a full hop list on the bottom just in-case you need it ;)
For this hop, we all picked one of the 5 competion categories. ( Birthday, Christmas/seasons greetings, Hello/Thinking of you, Love and Thank you).
I have a birthday card to share.
When I saw this photograph on Pintrest a while back,

I was immediately inspired to make a card with my PTI Ikat stamp set. I just knew it would be bold and beautiful. I am so pleased with the way it turned out.
I created the background by stamping on kraft card stock with black versafine ink. I added some shimmer with a starglaze pen and embossed it with the linen and canvas impression plate by PTI, added some gems and mounted it onto a black background. The sentiment is heat embossed with Brown sugar zing powder.
I hope you liked my card for today, and thank you so much for visiting me :)
I will be giving away this prize to one lucky person who leaves a comment below.
You ave until
