Birthday wishes

Hi everyone,

This week I received the new Birthday Wishes frame die from Simon Says Stamp which I couldn't wait to put to good use.
One of the owners of the local coffee shop where we go for lunch every Saturday was celebrating a birthday today.
This card was perfect for the occasion.



I used distress inks to blend the background and ran the whole thing through my die cutting machine to add the embossed frame around the card. Next I die cut the frame and added some colour. Die cut the sentiment frame again in black and snipped off the frame and added just the sentiment part behind the original sentiment. Added some twine and 2 pearls for the "i's".
Before assembling the whole thing I added some ink splatters.

Thanks for stopping by,

Supplies:

SSS Birthday Wishes frame die
SSS Stitched Rectangles die
Distress inks- Ripe Persimmon, Wild Honey, Barn Door
Lawn Fawn lime twine
