Happy Birthday with Pale Papaya and Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper


I absolutely love the way this Happy Birthday card came out.  The Pale Papaya Cardstock makes the flowers from the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper pop.  I used the Stitched Greenery Die on the White Cardstock...it has quickly become one of my new favorite dies.  It's a die, but it embossed the paper with these beautiful stitched leaves.

Card Details:
  • Pale Papaya Cardstock:  4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
  • White Cardstock layer:  5 1/4" x 4" - embossed with Stitched Greenery Die
  • Expressions In Ink DSP strip:  4" x 2"
  • The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set.  I cut the greeting into 2 pieces to allow more flexibility
