Ivory Birthday

Hi!  Today's card was made for a few challenges that are around at the moment.  I used the colors from Color Throwdown, the sketch from Paper Craft Crew and the Anything Goes theme at Seize the Birthday, as well as the Something New theme at Simon Says Stamp.  My "something new" is the Altenew Leafy Garland die which I've had for quite a white but had never actually used until this card.  I didn't get anything crafty for Christmas 😭 so I decided to buy my own crafty Christmas present from SSS but it's still on its way here to New Zealand 😊

On to my card.  On a Whip Cream card base I very lightly and randomly stamped the Wood Plank background using Grout Gray ink.  I die-cut two Leafy Garland dies - once in Grout Gray and once in black cardstock and adhered them slightly askew from each other in the bottom left corner of a side-folding card.  The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink on Whip Cream cardstock and clear-embossed before being die-cut with a pierced circle.  I die-cut another pierced circle the same size from black and adhered that offset behind the sentiment panel.

The sentiment panel is popped up on foam tape.  I finished the card with some Nuvo Jewel Drops in Gray Mist.

Thanks for visiting.
