Birthday wishes circle card

Hi everyone!  After my last card, I had a couple embossing folders on my desk, so I inked up my Dotted Flowers for today's card.  I was at Michael's the other day and saw some adorable charms.  I am a sucker for pretty charms and had to buy them BUT I rarely use them.  So to make up for it, I used TWO on this card -lol!!

There are a couple ways to get ink onto your embossed cardstock.  My favorite way is to ink the folder itself.  This method presses the ink into the cardstock on the "sunken" parts of the design.  I like to use pigment ink as I think it spreads evenly on the folder (dye ink can be a bit blotchy or streaky).  I like the subtle effect of the light purple ink on this card.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.  Here is a close up pic of the embossing, tags and the cute little charms!
