Happy Birthday To You

Ok,It is me Dawn today. I have  a quick project I put together this last weekend with my limited reach to my craft supplies. Thank goodness I could reach my Cheery Lynn Designs die cuts and Big Shot.
Let me share a few steps with you to make my Birthday door hangar.

 I had this wooden door hangar I painted with one of  my favorite paint colors...

  I cut my first layer out with the Japanese Garden Lace Oval.I went to inking the outside with a brown and then used the inside with a green.I love these dies because I can use each piece ~ the positive and negative side.

I cut my stamped and colored image with Scalloped Oval.
I then decided to mat my image with the frame but needed a background to hold it all together.

I just used the die and traced around the shape~you know I fussy cut each of those scallops.NOW I know why I love using dies...lol

Then of course I went to work making some flowers to decorate my frame. Miniature Rose,
 Cuties 2  make a great small collage along with the leaves from my frame.

My last touches were adding some ribbon and trim and of course a Happy Birthday sentiment to the bottom.
I think this will be fun to add to the birthday person's door on their special day.

 I am sharing two versions of the same card with the lighting changed...you will have to tell me which you like better. I am one of the team members that also have a hard time with cards for men...I just love to add flowers to everything...lol
I don't think the greenery counts, do you?

My paper is from Graphic 45 and the card stock is from Quickutz, and the ribbon is from my stash.

Do you like how I altered the frame and fence? On the fence I ran it through with my embossing plate, I use it for everything I want to have texture.

 Wanted to share a close up of the frame inked with Tim Holtz distress inks and also the texture on the fence and inks to bring out the texture.

 One last view of the front of my card.

A quick view of the inside just waiting for a sentiment when I need to give away.

I hope you join us this week, you still have a couple days to enter.
