Happy Birthday



The current Happy Birthday challenge at Simon Says Stamp was the perfect excuse to break out my newly acquired Happy Birthday die from Paper Smooches.

I didn't have a ton of time, so I pulled out an old Documenter Kit from Studio Calico.

I used one of the journaling cards as a background, adding a mat of blue cardstock, and then embellished with a few chipboard stars and a wood veneer.



To add a bit of shine and a different texture, I used am embossing pen to color the chipboard stars and then added clear embossing powder.  I ended up doing this twice to get at thicker coating of gloss on the stars.

Thanks for stopping by!
