I’ve been debating whether to upload this card for a couple of days as I’m not sure I like it much. Anyway here it is and as the colour fits with the Birthstone image challenge at DD – May’s Birth Flower or Birthstone I am entering it there.
I used an EF from CTMH that I’ve had forever and then highlighted the lines with ink. This was then added to a slightly different shade of green and onto the white card front. The compass and sentiment come from an unbranded set and after it was stamped I coloured it with pencils and some Sakura pens. Using a StampinUP die I cut the frame and added it to the compass piece. I used a gold pen in each of the holes so they show a bit more. The sentiment was stamped and cut up before adding as you see. I didn’t quite get the placement right at the bottom, but it’s handmade so I decided not to worry about it. The bling is from my stash.
Thanks for joining me today, I appreciate you and your time.


Awesome card….love the green you added to your embossing folder and the word placements looks great to me.

Very cool card. This would make a great masculine card. The colors are a good match for the birthstone.

This is a fun card! No one will notice your placement unless you tell them. Even if they did, it goes with your sentiment.
