More family birthday cards!! I started with a large envelope and made a black card to fit inside knowing that I would be using this light house image which I trimmed from a used card. I trimmed a red layer just a bit smaller than the black card and embossed a line across the upper portion. I used a black stamp pad to highlight the embossed dots and then added a bit all the way around to soften the transition from red to black. I adhered my image to the upper left which left room on the lower right for my greeting. I chose a chalkboard greeting from my stash that worked well and added some bits of coordinating ribbon before adding it to my card front using 3D foam tape. Therese
