A Snowhaven Birthday Card



Snowhaven may be a winter/snow themed paper, but you don't have to use it that way.  I cut one of the strips out of the striped paper, added a scalloped border and hearts following this sketch from Atlantic Hearts, and had a birthday card with nary a snowflake in sight.


I had a problem with the sentiment. You see, I love the retired Pewter Mini Medley but am down to one last frame which I hesitate to use.  Then it occurred to me that I could use the corner pieces, of which I have quite a few, to make a bracket for the sentiment.  The sentiment, by the way, is a two parter from the retired Card Chatter - Birthday set.  The rest of it is inside:




Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time, Hansi

  7. This is such a striking card- that colour combination is wonderful and the sentiment on the inside reminds me I need to use that stamp set more often! Thanks for playing with AHSC this week.
