Delicate Forest – Best Birthday Wishes

Design Team time: Facebook Case-ing Tuesday (#473).  The weekly Catalog CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) of cards found within Stampin’ Up!’s current catalogs.  The card today?  Found on page 127 of the Annual Catalog.   We invite you to re-create it any way you like.

Keeping the layout pretty much the same, I chose to play with the As You Can See It (#329) Recipe requirements.

I am sharing my card with Cupcake Inspirations (#600) for their birthday theme to celebrate their 600^th challenge to date (WOW!!) and Colorful Options (August) promoting a yellow/green palette.

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Shaded Spruce cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4″ x 5¼”) Green/Yellow Sunburst patterned piece of paper from the Full of Life Designer Series Paper pack.
  • The Panel was dry-embossed with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder, an On-Line Exclusive product.
  • The pattern was slightly sanded to bring out some of the Leaf detail.
• Side Strip: (1” x 5¼”) Shade Spruce cardstock dry-embossed with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, also an On-Line Exclusive product, adhered to the left-side of the Background Panel.
• Twine: (20”) Basic White Twine was wrapped around the edge of Background Panel and tied in a loose Bow.
• Circle: (4” x 4”) Basic White cardstock die-cut with the (3¼”) Open Eyelet Circle die from the Spotlight on Natures Dies set.
  • The Tree image from the Delicate Tree stamp set was stamped three times for 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd Generation coloring using Shaded Spruce ink.
  • The sentiment, Wishing you the best birthday ever, from the now retired Season of Chic stamp set was also stamped with Shade Spruce ink.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch and the Circle was popped up with Dimensionals. 

Loving how the colored “rays” in the patterned paper draw you into the sun-dappled forest.

Hope you can find some time to join us at Case-ing Tuesday this week.  I would love to see what you will create for this sketch.
