Hello, friends and happy Wednesday!! I have a birthday card to share today featuring the new Lily Serenade Press-Tacular Plate from Crafty Meraki!! I’m so excited that Crafty Meraki started creating press plates!! There are some popular previously released stamp sets that are now being released as press plates and a few brand new designs, such as the Lily Serenade that I used on my card today!!

I began by pressing the Lily Serenade Press-Tacular Plate onto heavyweight white cardstock using InkOn3 Blackout Ink and the Betterpress System. I colored the wreath with Copic markers and trimmed the panel to a little smaller than A2 size. It was splattered with diluted black ink. Once dry, it was adhered to an A2 panel of bright pink cardstock. I used a yellow gel pen on the stamen of the lilies.

For the sentiment, I used a new sentiment press plate, the Gilded Expressions Press-Tacular Plate. It was pressed onto heavyweight white cardstock with black pigment ink and cut out with the Coordinating Die. I also die-cut another layer from bright pink cardstock. The pink layer was adhered to the card base using liquid adhesive and the press plate layer was popped up with foam tape.

A sprinkling of Royal Amethyst Dew Drops added with a Bling Buddy completes the card and add a bit of sparkle.

That does it for me today!! I hope you’ll check out the complete collection of new Press-Tacular Plates!!

Have a wonderful day!!
