a SpRinG biRthDaY...

Spring has officially arrived. We are having superbly warm weather (by UK standards) the last few days. This has inspired me to go with a spring theme birthday card this week.

Ermm... Not entirely sure on the outcome though. Because the design feels a bit dated to me. What do you think?

So, for the card... the background was embossed with a woodgrain pattern (by Craft Concepts) to tie in the nature theme. Two light green leaves were cut from felt and decorated with four fabric flowers (by WHSmith). The flower cores were accentuated with Whirligig Bag-O-Buttons buttons. Some bare raffia (by Docrafts Papermania) were then added to give the card a more 3D feel. And two shiny butterflies were also added to bring in the spring feeling. :)

The final touch for the card is the 'Happy B'Day' message (cut using Provo Craft 'Birthday wishes' die) and stuck onto a cream cardstock with light pink frame. Three roses from 'Build a cupcake' layered die (by Papermania) was added to complete the spring look.

Tada... the spring birthday card. ;)
