This week I'm playing along with the Theme Challenge at Global Design Project. It's a theme I can really get into-as a matter of fact, it was the theme of our team card swap last week. I guess great minds think alike!
My design has a real woodsy-leafy thing going on - perfect for him!
I used Early Espresso for my card base on this project. It's my fave of all the browns - so rich looking! On top of that, I layered a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. Instead of centering it, I shifted it to line up with the top & left edges of the card.
The Whisper White layer started out 4" x 5-1/4". I laid it on top of the DSP layer and when I found the angle I liked, I marked it & trimmed off the top & left edges to match the card base.
My favorite thing about this card is the bold greeting cut with the Happy Birthday Thinlits Die. It's actually four die-cuts layered together - the first 3 are cut from Early Espresso and the top one from Whisper White. I love the shadowing and dimension it gives to this card.
I used this sentiment from Special Celebrations for the inside. It has such great options for a lot of occasions - this has quickly become my "go-to" birthday greeting.
A trio of the new Black Rhinestone Jewels and a double wrap of Linen Thread tied around the card are the finishing touches.
Please visit Global Design Project this week to see all of the great entries there!
