Poppystamps Scribble Hello was die cut from the the same mirror cardstock & white cardstock to give dimension. The old MFT flourish was die cut from silver glitter paper. 
I scored a frame & brushed a bit of tan ink to ground the cup with the impression of a table. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
My final card is made with another blue cardstock from a very old inexpensive paper pack. This time I embossed with another favorite folder--SSS Refracted. You can't really tell, but I swiped over the raised areas with a white dye ink pad. It did slightly soften the look & I mounted it to a panel die cut with AJVD pierced rectangle. 
SSS Happy Birthday Brush Script is going to get a lot of use! The size is perfect for cards & I love that the words come out in one piece, including the dot for the i! I used the same blue cardstock & embossed with Hero Arts Sparkle ep. That powder gives beautiful shine & shimmer without changing the color of the cardstock. 
I used white scraps for the shadow & SSS Etched Laurel Leaves. Decided to add a vellum layer on top of the branch. It looks lovely in person with glue just on the stems. I love the look of clear drops for embellishments as they add something without being distracting. I'm entering SSS Flickr 208 & SSS Wednesday.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
As always such elegant card Greta. Hope tour rehab is coming along well.
