Birthday Greetings Two Ways
by Toni M Maddox

Greetings, friends! We can never have too many birthday cards on hand, right? Toni here sharing two birthday cards, one quite feminine and the other cheerfully unisex.

I created the background of my first card using the Birthday Candle Blowout Stencils. I spattered that with ink for a funky vibe.

Next, I arrange some of the Plain & Simple Birthday Greetings on my MISTI and embossed them on sturdy vellum. I left a space at the top to add the Plain & Simple Birthday Greetings sentiment diecut.

I covered the back of the vellum panel with double-sided tape, leaving a small margin that I burnished with black glitter.

My second card definitely has a more feminine feel to it, don’t you agree?

I created an aperture and shadow with the Block Print Forest Scene die. A random assortment of Tall Party Candles cut from mirror and glitter cardstocks fill the space.

Finally, I sponged a bit of blue at the bottom of the card front before adding the Handwritten Happy Birthday & Outline. Pretty!

I hope you enjoyed today’s card and have a great rest of your week!
