Hello and welcome, hope you're having a great day!

This is the second post for today.

Happy Birthday Mick!

Apart from my family, Mick is the person I've known the longest, he was my best friend's husband, and the girl who got me hooked on card making just before she died, some too many moons ago.

Measurements are in centimetres, (cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest.

Card base is 21 x 14.85 scored at 10.5, (r) Wood textures (dsp) 4 x 14.85 and scraps of all the colours below.

Colours are: cajun craze, crumb cake, crushed curry, early espresso, old olive, merry merlot, very vanilla

• Using the parcels & petals (ss) stamp the sentiment in cajun craze, then using the colorful seasons (ss) stamp the leaves in the various colours and sizes.
• With the basic pattern decorative masks, sponge the trees across the front of the card base using crumb cake ink. Then spritz lightly using an early espresso marker.
• Now with the stitched nested labels (2 & 3), and the seasonal layers dies, die cut all the leaves and labels.
• Attach the (dsp) to the card base using dimensional pads.
• Arrange and glue down the leaves using liquid glue.
• Arrange some (r) copper metallic thread across the front of the old olive label, then adhere the  sentiment label on top using liquid glue. Once done adhere to the (dsp) using liquid glue.
• Add some random candy dots.

Will be back again soon with more cards.
