Lovely soft color combo today! I had some designer paper that had close to the same colors so I built my card around it. IÂ’m not sure why the peony looks sort of orangey here..in real life, itÂ’s a lot more pinky. I also went with the "Fabby" option, since I think chevrons & sequins are pretty fabby.
After I water colored the peony & background, I used the out of the box technique to die cut it. I added a white layer then put it back on top of the larger background I cut it from originally. Another white layer then it was added to the stitched layer along with the piece of dp. The Happy was die cut 3 times & stacked together for more dimension, then a few sequins added for a little sparkle.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Really pretty...your out of the box technique is the best (I always refer to it). OK..now I get what the fabby option was..yes I think sequins and chevrons qualify. Great design!

What a spectacular birthday card using our colors of the day. Look at all of those layers and the dramatic die cut sentiment. Beautiful all the way, Julie.
