Spring Birthday Wreath

Well, my friends here it is 'mid May' already

and that means time for a new challenge at

Dies R Us challenge blog!

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:

Impression Obsession Spring Wreath

Memory Box Meadowbird Branch

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!!
