POD: birthday cake

today's card for the CAARDVARKS special design team gallery featuring fabulous rubber stamps from purple onion designs uses only one stamp...but it's my favorite: the vintage ornate frame can be had on its own, or as part of the flea market set. either way, it's gorgeous and sooooooo versatile. when we were very generously allowed to select our own stamps for this challenge, it was the first one i chose! here i've embossed it in white on a piece of patterned paper which already had a white curly-swirly design. because you just cannot *ever* have too many flourishes, imo!!! :)

(rubber stamp: purple onion designs; patterned paper: basic grey & the new adrienne looman line for prima; white glossy cardstock: ranger; blingy dimensional chipboard cake sticker: k&co; chipboard word: ek success; corner punch: all night media; extra stick-on gems: michaels; inks: colorbox; embossing ink & powder: psx; adhesives: tombow monoadhesive runner, judikins diamond glaze)

    Yeah, I'm with Leslie....I think that POD must be paying you to get us all ooohhhhing and aaaahhhhhing over this stamp so that we'll all run right out and buy it! It's just gorgeous and you are completely correct in saying that there is no such thing as too many flourishes!!! YUMMY!!!!!! ♥
