Happy Birthday

Hi and thanks for visiting ......    
I have a rare "Male" card for you today    
and    
thanks to the ladies at Let's Squash It challenge - 
some more use of my embossing folders

I saw this technique ages ago and made a sample and then it disappeared into the UFO pile... but with the theme of Animals I thought to try it out.   This embossing folder lends itself beautifully  -  I stamped the 'trees reflection' in black Versafine directly onto the EF and with white card ran it through the Cuttlebug - I made a few examples so there will be some more cards and I really like how it turned out.   Watercoloured the background with Distress Inks, framed it with navy card.  Stamped and white embossed the sentiment on the bottom and to finish added a die cut bird that I coloured with pencils


Hope you have a wonderful creative day... cheers
NOTE: I looked through my Pinterest saves and found the technique that inspired me.. here is the link
