Happy St. Patrick's Day, and welcome to the newest Seize the Birthday challenge! In honour of the day, my teammate JoAnn has picked green and white as our (always optional) challenge topping. I decided to take the challenge as is, with no added neutrals or metallics:
A lot of my plant stencils are florals, but this bamboo was was perfect to use with just green. It's actually a slimline format, but I used just the top portion, allowing the bamboo to trail off the bottom of the panel. The two part sentiment is stamped in the same green, and I also used it to colour the cardstock I embossed the secondary sentiment on. Then lucky me, I had a matching green card base already cut, scored and ready! I layered the happy portion on a few extra die cuts for a little dimension.
I'm adding my card to the STAMPlorations March stencil challenge.
Green and white cards galore from my StB teammates and our current surprise party guest, Deepti! Join the party with your own birthday card!
Supplies: Neenah white & (?) green cardstock, Birch Press Design Make a Statement stamps & die, Versamark & Catherine Pooler garden party ink, Wow clear gloss & opaque white embossing powder, ARTplorations bamboo stencil, Winnie & Walter Katharine cutaways pierced rectangle die
I could so C.A.S.E. this one with my bamboo background stamp. Fabulous birthday card, the sentiment doesn't take anything away from your stenciled bamboo just enhances it. Great colours for a challenge.
