happy birthday

 hello crafters!

I'm playing along with the talented team at CAS Colours & sketches this week where the lovely Cécile  has a colour challenge #494.

I wanted to use a new die I received from Gorgecraft and thought the trees would be lovely in these colours. I inked some card and die cut the trees. It was also die cut from a panel of Kraft which had acetate adhered to the back and then mounted on foam tape onto the card base. The acetate allowed the die cut to be adhered in the cutout - some of those trees are spindly! The Gummiapan happy birthday was stamped on an offcut from the inked panel using versamark and white heat embossed, then mounted on foam tape.

Since the die is new to me, I'm also entering this in Darnell's terrific blog NBUS. Sending hugs, Darnell!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

  1. Hugs back, Rachel! Great to see you! I love your design which is perfect for the color challenge! I've got a couple of similar dies that have that spindly outline bit and it's a bear to work with, so I appreciate the tip! I also appreciate that you linked and inspired everyone at NBUS! Darnell
