Happy Birthday

Hello there my crafty friends!  Here's my favourite card with the Hawaiian Shirt die.  I started with a piece of Duck Egg blue card as the background.  I embossed the Dotty Waves folder, then hand cut it just below half the card.  I lightly inked it with Tumbled Glass to look like waves and glued it to the bottom edge of the blue card.  I cut several palm trees from the Island Paradise set and added them to the background.  I also cut some clouds from the Twinkle Twinkle Clouds and Stars set and added them as well.  I used the small plane and banner from the same set and hand wrote Happy Birthday on it.  For the shirt, I cut the backing piece in white, then used some tropical paper that I found in my paper stash for the actual shirt.  I cut it again in white and used just the collar and centre button area and glued it on the shirt as well as the pocket.  I cut pink and yellow flowers and glued them around the neck like a tropical lei.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  9"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue.
The perfect card to give someone if they are going somewhere really special and exotic for their birthday or celebrating their birthday whilst away or even change the sentiment and it could be used for a Bon voyage or a good luck if working far far away or even a card for someone relocating/emigrating maybe? Either way it would certainly get the excitement bubbling over, I'm getting all dizzy just thinking of somewhere hot sunny exotic with white sands and clear turquoise seas ahhhhhhh.
Stay well take care and love all round xxx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another gorgeous creation using the shirt and embellishments, love the wave effect with the highlighted blue colour, great idea, and of course the little tiny plane banner which is the icing on the cake.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
