Birthday Leaves

Hi and welcome to another challenge from the team at Freshly Made Sketches, where our hostess this week is Jacquie Southas.  And here is Jacquie's sketch:

I used the sketch to make a birthday card for my dad, who will be 87 in a week or so.  I won't be able to see him before his birthday due to the lockdown, so I will post this card to him.

I used dies from The Greetery and stamps from MFT for this card.  The script background was stamped onto the white card base using Fog ink.   I then die-cut the halfsies die twice from Fog cardstock and ran it through a linen embossing folder.  The leaves were die-cut from Smoke and Slate cardstock and arranged in front of and behind one side of the halfsies die and adhered with liquid glue. I then put tiny slivers of foam tape behind the leaves and behind the halfsies dies and adhered to the card base.  The sentiment was white embossed and cut out.

I finished with some clear raindrops.

Thanks for visiting.  The DT have some gorgeous cards so I hope you'll check them out.
