birthday wishes

https://seizethebirthday.blogspot.com/

For this any colour with green birthday challenge, I decided to keep it very simple and used a die, 2 tones of green paper and a gold embossed sentiment. Stamp set used is by GKD and is an oldie called Vertical Greetings. It is probably one of my most used sets. My die is one I purchased when visiting my sister in the Netherlands by Jeanine’s Art, a few years ago. I cut my card front down to a 5 inch height so the die fit properly and then cut along one edge. Adding the mulberry paper to the inside gives a nice contrast to the white die cut. As well I added some sparkle using a pen to the embossed lines of the bird so the definition is more apparent and I added an eye with the same pen. With a darker green strip of mulberry paper I added it down the card front and popped my sentiment up on top.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying some nice spring weather, which is what I am seeing from my window today.

  7. What a pretty die and I like that you kept it on the simpler side so that the white really stood out. Great job as always and thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday.
