Teal Birthday

This birthday card is clean and simple, easy to make and would work well for a man as well as a woman. The leafy texture frame adds so much interest, you don’t need much of anything else. As a suggestion, I’d pick a background that wasn’t too busy to go under it.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC994, we are visiting Levtex Home & their Pinterest Boards. THIS pillow was my inspiration. I liked the color combo of a dk teal & pale yellow & the interesting pattern.

My card is pretty easy. I die cut the leafy texture cover & wording out of a textured dk teal. After attaching it to card board, I looked around for a suitable background. I found a barely patterned shaving cream background on a pale yellow card stock & liked the way it looked. The backing for the greeting die was cut out of the same pale yellow. Since there’s so much going on in the cover die, I opted to keep everything else simple & only added some gems here & there.
