Birthday cards

I couple of birthday cards are in order for today's post. Today is my Aunts 60th birthday. 
This first one I heat embossed the center stamps using Clearsnap ink and clear embossing powder by Stampendous. The stamps are by Hero Arts and Colorbok, die cuts by Spellbinders, circle punch by CM, PP by RE and DCWV and card base by RE.
I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Crafty Sentiments(TH8-11)-punches or die cuts
Do you stack up?(TH#32)-Emboss it
Divas by Design(W#8)-Birthdays
A Spoon full of Sugar(TU#162)-Happy Birthday
Anything Goes Challenge(TU#47)-Happy Birthday
Tuesday Throwdown(TU#61)-Birthday
Crazy Challenge(MO#79)-Embossing
Victorine Stamps(MO#14)-Birthdays
Birthday Sundaes(SU#21)-Birthday card
Craft Your days Away(SA#26)-Birthday celebrations


This second card I used Crackle Paint on the matted die cut, sprayed with Glimmer Mist and inked the edges with Clearsnap ink. The Crackle paint really covers cardstock well. This die cut was made using a pink CS and you can't tell. For the top die cut I inked the edges with Distressing ink-Walnut Stain- and heat embossed the flower in the middle using Clearsnap ink and clear embossing powder by Stamendous. I also sprayed it with Perfect pearls to give it some sparkle. The PP's are by DV and DCWV with border punch by MS and card base by RE.


I'm entering this card into the following challenges: 
Simon Says Stamp (MO8-8) for a Tim Holtz technique (Crackle pain, distressing inks and Perfect Pearls) Corrosive Challenges (SU#128) for earth tones.
Charisma Cardz(TH#32)-Distressing
Sassy Studio Designs(TH#85)-Distressing
Dream Valley Challenges(SU#13)-Distressing
Stampin Sisters in Christ(SU#101)-Using something you just had to have. Where do I begin? The border punch, Crackle paint and stamp set were all had to haves and then sat in my stash for a while.

Thanks for looking.
