Happy Birthday To An Amazing Friend

Hello crafters!  I started with a piece of Arctic Blue card. I inked around the edges with Gentle Lavender Colour Cloud Ink using a small smoothie.  I cut a frame in white using the Scalloped Circles die set and added mounting foam to the back of it to raise it.  I cut a backing piece for it out of Arctic Blue card and used Blue Lagoon Colour Cloud ink with a smoothie in the centre of it.  I used a green marker and coloured the bottom area of the backing piece and added some little tufts of grass by flicking the marker up across the top of it.  I attached the backing piece then glued the frame to the centre of the card. I cut the Bird Bath out of Slate Grey card then went around the edges and inked it with Weathered Wood distress ink.  I used a white pencil to add highlights to it, then attached the bird bath to the inside of the frame with mounting foam.  I cut several of the greenery sprigs from the Toucan die set and attached them going up the side of the frame.  I cut five of the flower sprigs from the Hummingbird set out of both green card and periwinkle and aqua card.  I nipped away the flowers and glued them on to the green die cuts.  I attached a few of the flowers with the greenery from the side of the frame and the last two flowers, I attached in the lower left corner.  I cut two hummingbirds in white and inked them with Gentle Lavender and Blue Lagoon Colour Cloud ink.  I attached them to the frame with mounting foam.  I cut the Happy Birthday To An Amazing Friend sentiment out of Periwinkle card and shadowed it in black.  I glued it to the lower right corner of the card.  The card was completed with white and periwinkle mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 ¼”  x  8 ½” in size.  All for now, Sue x
