A Simple Yet Bold Happy Birthday Card


Here's a super simple card. The white paper is from the local big craft store. The JPG image conversion removed the embossing detail, but it is embossed with lines, adding to the cards horizontal feel. The flowers are part of one of the sheets in the Nana's Kids stack. I cut it off the sheet and matted in onto yellow then black cardstock to give the center strip a strong visual appeal against the black letters. The black letters are from a clear stamp set I have. The stamp is difficult to use because if any extra ink seeps into the narrow letter area, you can't make out the letter so you have to ink it just right to get a a good impression but not so much that you get black circles instead of a negative image.
