Christmas themed Birthday

Sometimes it's puzzling what to do with those birthdays in December... you want to make them special as birthdays are, and still don't drown out the fact that it is Christmas season... so here's a card that combines them both... inspired by Julie Trevett and beautifully created by Linda Fisher... what team work!

 

It’s a trifold card featuring one of the Designer Frames mounted with an image from the Bells & Boughs stamp set.  Together they are decked out in Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Whisper White with a splash of gold. 

 

Looking closer, you can see that a few punched hearts replaced some of the “berries”.  The image was stamped twice.  Once on Whisper White and then again on Old Olive, both times using Always Artichoke Ink. The Old Olive leaves were then snipped out and placed at the corresponding places of the leaves stamped onto the Whisper White.

 

                 

You have to untie the ribbon to be able to

open up the card to view the inside.

                

A single heart rests in the middle of the leaves.

The perfect finale to an amazing creation!
