Tartan Birthday

Welcome to another challenge from the team at Fusion.



For my card, I stuck with the neutral colors but pulled in the teal that looks to be around the blind on the window.


This is a new-to-me stamp set from Altenew called Tartan and it was fun to work with.  I used Altnew inks and then die-cut a thin frame from the centre for added interest.  The centre piece is popped up on foam tape.  


For the sentiment, I white-embossed the "It's Your" and then stacked the "birthday" letters three high so they stood out from the background more.  It was a fiddly job, but worth it.


Thanks for visiting!  I hope you'll check out what the DT have done with the challenge.
