So with this card I decided to play around with Scoring and embossing. I wanted the background to look like a quilt. I used the scoring blade on my Fiskers cutter and scored every 1/2". I then used the piercing tool and pierced a hole in each corner of the diamonds. I embossed the 2 different flowers from the Pick a Petal Brass Template to emboss. I then used the same template to pierce the small flower and the 1/16" circle punch to make the holes in the larger embossed flower. I stamped Happy Birthday on the card stock before I dry embossed it or punched it out with the scallop circle punch. It is hard to see in the picture but I used my regular stylus and made small circles in the edges of the edge scallops. I used the ticket corner punch in 2 of the four corners and Double Circle Punch to make the faux brads in the 2 corners and the center of the flower. I do not know if I will every get sick of the Red Riding Hood. I am going to run out before I can even officially order it. I also used one of the new buttons that will be coming out int he new catalog.
