Happy birthday

Having not made a skinny card for ages, I now find that I have made two in practically as many days, but both have been in response to challenges.


Nature's bounty -  I'm referring to the wood, which is indeed a bounty of nature!

Watercooler Wednesday - All things masculine


I found a scrap of designer paper, (it was lucky as I don't use it much these days and have sent most to the charity shop) which toned with the chosen colours for the challenge and simply added a die cut sentiment. I don't remember the make of the alpha dies. I tried every colour for the word birthday and it took me ages to make a decision... in the end I stacked two of the colours I had cut out together.

  1. Wonderful card...love the monotone effect! Also appreciated your comment about finding the right colors for sentiments/words...non card papers simply don't understand how long it can take to pick colors...sometimes I just walk away and revisit another day with fresh eyes! That said, your choices are spot on!
