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.

Another really stunning card, Karren! I love how you played with the color palette for your Tartan pattern and the thin frame is a fabulous detail! I'm so impressed that you spotted the teal trim on the window blind :)
