Inlaid Birthday


Hello hello!

I've got a card today for the Seize the Birthday challenge (patterned paper) and the AAA Cards challenge (birthday).  This card was inspired by a really old card by Laura Bassen (which I cannot find a link for) but I used patterned paper (ancient stuff from Basic Grey) instead of stamping in which to inlay the happy birthday die.  There is also a scattering of clear Nuvo Drops which are kind of tough to see in this picture.  While this looks pretty simple it was SO fiddly putting those die cut bits back together!  Worth it in the end though as I think it looks pretty cool.  



Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Night of Navy) Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper:  Basic Grey
Dies:  (Happy Birthday) Paper Smooches
Glitter:  (Clear Wink of Stella) Tonic

The die cut letters follow the pattern as if they were meant to be cut there, Jen.
