Hues of Happiness Birthday Card PP615

by Joanne James30. October 2022 08:00

Today it's Sunday and time for this week's new challenge over at The Paper Players! It's the turn of the fabulous Anne Marie to host this week and as it's the fifth Sunday of the month she has a bonus Tic Tac Toe challenge for us to work with:

    

I used Jen T's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for my layout and went across the bottom of the grid with yellow, birthday and stitching for a fresh and vibrant birthday card this week - take a look:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

Hues of Happiness - The Hues of Happiness designer series paper made light work of the decoration for today's card! I diecut a trio of flowers and some leaves and used them to accent a stitched circle that I had also partially diecut with one of the Blossoming Happiness Dies. 

Sending Birthday Wishes - I used the Sending Smiles Bundle to create my sentiment, layering my diecut 'sending' with a vellum base so that it doesn't obscure too much of the detail beneath:

I used Early Espresso for my sentiment as it picked up the brown tones in the flowers and was less harsh than black. 

Don't forget the inside - I added a sentiment from 'Happiness Abounds' and a little extra detail to finish off the inside of my card: 

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

You can see all of my Product and 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any.

Bright and beautiful card, Joanne, perfect for a birthday!  I never know what to do with dies like the one you used on the circle element, I love what you did.  That Hues of Happiness paper is so gorgeous, I admit I kinda forgot about it with all the fall and Halloween stuff happening in my craft room Smile

Beautiful, Joanne! Yellow is such a cheery color...perfect for a birthday card. You just can't beat the flowers in the Hues of Happiness paper. Early Espresso was the perfect choice for the sentiment. Well done!

Joanne, as per usual, I love everything about your card! Everything about your card screams HAPPY and I am here for it! That little die-cut detail in the background is the perfect touch, too.
