Happy Birthday by Donna Sledzik

Hello everyone! Today I have a fun Birthday card for you using more new products from the 2022 Spring release.

I began by die cutting one of the Nested Globes from white cardstock and stenciling on top of it with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink. Next, I lightly inked around the edge of the die cut with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink. I also used Hickory Smoke ink and a blending brush to add ink to a White Woodgrain cardstock panel. This brings out the texture in the cardstock. I glued my globe die cut to the paper and used foam tape to adhere it to a white card base.

I die cut the large leaves from the Exquisite Leaf Set using white cardstock and inked them with Distress Oxide Inks. I glued the leaves in place over the globe die cut and spattered the card with white and gray inks.

Next, I die cut the shadow from the Happy Birthday Posh Script die from Vellum and the words from gray cardstock. I glued the words to the vellum, which I adhered to the card.
