And this is my take on the challenge.

Happy Birthday to you card#2

What is new on my card? I have used a new stamp set from Wplus9 holiday release called Holiday Boughs. I bought this set and never opened it. So this is a new set for me. Then I tried a new style of stamping on my card. Its the stationery style stamping. May Park does this style beautifully. I have seen many of her videos and wanted to try it out. Mayholic in Crafts is her blog. Check out her videos. She is amazing!

I started with gold embossing the sentiment from Strictly Sentiment 5 stamp set from Wplus9. I masked a border around the edges of the panel. Then I started my stamping the images from Holiday Boughs, Botanical Bunch and Happy Mail stamp sets in black. I kept all the images inside the masked area. Some of the images are solid images and some are outline. I coloured the outline images with copic markers, adding a little shading. I then removed the mask. I then adhered this panel on to green card base. No embellishment what so ever. A one layer flat card - Stationery style! Here is another shot of the card.

I really love this one layer stationery style card. I will do a bit more experimenting with this style. Hope you like it.

So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
