Hello friends! Rosemary here on the blog today sharing a birthday card with a little more of a masculine feel to it. I used the fun Block Print Pine Trees die set, as well as a sentiment from the Plain and Simple Birthday Greetings stamp. Here is what I created.
I started by pulling shades of green from the Memory Box Greenery 6×6 cardstock pad and die cutting trees. I then mixed and matched the different colors to make the different trees and adhered them together with glue.
As the trees dried I tried out different arrangements and settled on the one you see. Now for the background. What to do, what to do? I know… a woodgrain background, lol! I also decided to add a sun in the background and used a yellow from the Memory Box Sunrise 6×6 cardstock pad.
I love the Memory Box woodgrain cardstock and decided to use a piece of the white woodgrain cardstock. I die cut it down to fit a card front and then searched for a sentiment.
I settled on the happy birthday sentiment and stamped it on to the woodgrain panel. I did stamp it several times to make sure I got the best coverage I could.
I adhered everything to the card front with glue as I didn’t want to add any more bulk to the card. I then adhered the panel to a off white cardstock base to provide just a little bit of contrast.
Well, that is it for me. I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thanks for stopping by the blog today. Have a wonderful day.
