Spring Birthday Wreath

Well, my friends here it is 'mid May' already
and that means time for a new challenge at

The theme is "Birthday"
and it couldn't get any easier then that!


I made a somewhat CAS card using a couple of gorgeous dies:


I cut the Spring wreath die 3 times,
twice from white card stock and once from
a beautiful lavender design paper.


I offset the layers to make a fuller wreath.
The flowers were cut from the same IO Spring Wreath set
also from white card stock, then colored with
TH Dusty Concord Distress ink, with a pearl for the centers.

The darling little birdie is from the Meadowbird branch die set.
the perfect size for the wreath!

The strips of design paper are from
'snippets' of scrap paper that were laying on my desk.
They are actually the exact same width, but
it is an 'illusion' they look different sizes..lol.

The double bow was also sitting on my work table,
a 'reject' from another project,
but it seemed s if it were made for this card.

the Happy Birthday stamp is from SU Well Scripted .

Now mosey on over to the Dies R Us challenge blog
and see the beautiful inspiration from the rest of the design team
 and join in with us while there!!

    I love this wreath and especially with the bird added. Makes all the difference that you layered/staggered the wreath. 'Course now it's on my wish list, sigh... Does this never end? Your double bow is perfect on your card!
