Birthdays Are The Best Days

 Hi bloggers!  I started with a piece of white card nd used the Teal Marine Pixie Sparkles all over it.  Once dry, I added a white frame around it using the Postage Stamp Frames.  From the Elegant Arrangements, I cut two pots out of tan card.  I added some shading with a white pencil.  From the Beautiful Blossoms die set,  I cut several of the wide leaves for the top pot and cut different stems for the other pot.  I offset the pots into the left side of the frame.  I cut the Birthday Are The Best days sentiment out of both white and black.  I shadowed the sentiment and glued it into the right side of the frame.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 1/2"  x  7"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

I have to confess I use the Birthdays are ... more as an insert than on the front of the card. WakeyL

Hi Sue. What a good idea to use pots of different plants on a card so you can use either leaves or flowers of different colours to suit the recipient.

Great post and particularly like the sentiment but as with most of your designs you could swap this out and it is a very generic yet beautiful card that could be used for many occasions.
