Happy Thursday!! I've been busy stamping...and I can't wait to show you what I've made! 
But...that will have to wait just a little bit longer...heheheee! I did get to play in today's Ways to Use It challenge today, though! When I read that the challenge was to use acrylic products...I knew I had to play! You see, I've had these really cute Black & White acrylic frames (by Making Memories) for four months and keep forgetting to use them!
Ok...a little disclaimer about this card before I tell you about it. I think I broke my Janome Mini sewing machine... :-( I mean...who breaks a sewing machine?? Sigh... Anyway, my thread bunched all up right in the middle of sewing. Did I stop and "un-bunch" it? Nope...this was my last sheet of large polka dot Pretty in Pink DP and I really, really wanted to use it! So, I lifted up the foot, and using the skinny end of my stylus (hey..it was handy!!), I tried to untangle it. I was able to get it untangled, but it was still kind of bunched up. I decided to just "go for it". Well, it did work...sort of. My sewing machine is now slow as molassis...and you can definitely see where this sewing mishap happened! I would have been better off finding a different piece of DP I liked...LOL!
Ok...this is the how-to kind of stuff. I embossed the flower with Black detail embossing powder onto Pretty in Pink c.s two different times. I used one under the frame and cut out the center of the second one (which I then popped up a little). The happy birthday sentiment is embossed as well (I just really like the solid look of embossing). For embellishments, I added some Pretty in Pink taffeta ribbon, Black velvet ric-rac, a black button, & a pink rhinestone in the center of the flower.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!!
