Seize the Birthday #322

 

In celebration of spring our host JoAnn has chosen the color of Green as her Topping for this new Seize the Birthday challenge.  I have once again turned to the brilliance of Betsy Veldman, owner of The Greetery, to assist with my card design.  (I do not know her personally and have purchased all of her supplies myself but her horn definitely needs so tooting as she's absolutely spot on in her designs.)






Once again I've chosen my favorite green shade of cardstock, Pinefeather, from PaperTrey Ink as my card base.  I die cut the capsule oval, stamped the border and sentiment, and then ran it through my machine with an embossing folder.  I popped it up and added a few gems for interest.

Supplies:
The Greetery - Capsule Collection Floral Borders
The Greetery - Capsule Basics die set
Fun Stampers Journey - Inspire embossing folder

We have Jennie Maier joining us as our Surprise Party Guest so I hope you'll give her and the rest of the Design Team some appreciation.  We would love to see your card in our gallery!  If you'd like to be considered for a Guest spot be sure to use our Toppings.

Thanks for visiting!

Jules

    Jules, You're so right in going with Betsy she has some great designs and I love all the texture you have on this card. I personally think it leans towards an Irish look ,nothing wrong with that.

    I've seen some other cards made with this set, and they absolutely stole my heart. Your card is no less. Love the gorgeous shade of deep green on this. Makes for such a clean, elegant card. Gorgeous!
