Mixed Paper Birthday

This card is an example of how you can use your scraps by mixing different patterns and designer series paper packages. I have used pieces from the Simply Elegant specialty paper, Heart and Home designer series paper and Forever Greenery designer series paper collections, attaching them side by side on a piece of Basic Gray card stock.

The strip of Misty Moonlight behind the sentiment is also from the scrap pile and I added a few Iridescent rhinestone jewels to the side of that layer.  The sentiment comes from the Flowing Flowers stamp set and is stamped on a die cut made with the Stitched rectangles dies.

Flowing Flowers

To A Friend

While playing around with the Forever Fern stamp set recently, I added some purple tones to the colors in the coordinating Forever Greenery designer series paper. 

The embossed background is Purple Posy card stock and I used some Highland Heather ink on the sentiment layer which was die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  I cut down part of a retired paper doily to add behind the sentiment along with some designer series paper.
