I hope you've all enjoyed your weekend.
The bird in the main image has been stamped with black ink and heat embossed with holographic embossing powder. As usual, the sparkle doesn't show in the picture. I always find this such a shame as I love a bit of sparkle on my cards!
I have used Tim Holtz distress inks "Bundled Sage" and "Tumbled Glass" to add the colour.
The border at the top of the card and the Happy Birthday sentiment have been stamped in versamark ink and heat embossed using detail white embossing powder.
I'm really pleased with how this card has turned out and I hope the recipient likes it to.
I am entering it into the following:-
Stamp Something Challenge - "Birthday Somethings"
Stampin' for the Weekend - "Card for a Male"
Cute Card Thursday - "Boyz to Men!"
Thank you for visiting my blog.
Hugs, Clare xx

Hi Clare
So the new goodies arrived and can see you have put those TH inks to great use already.
I'm with you on the Inkadinkado stamps, not sure if it's the same set I had last Autumn, but they are ones I return to time and again.

This is gorgeous Clare. Really elegant, I love the black and white with a touch of colour. I've also had a look at the other lovely cards I've missed over the last few days. I really need more time lol!

Wow! I love your background and those stamps are beautiful. I didn't buy them because I already had lots of bird stamps, but I keep looking at them longingly!
Love this card - very classy and elegant. I love Inkadinkado clear stamps too, but haven't got this one. Having seen what you've done with it here, it's now on my wish list.
Gorgeous card Clare, its so elegant.
