Second Birthday Card Using Old and New Products

 Today I decided to make another birthday card.  I love making birthday cards, and that is what I get asked for the most.  This uses two of the new die sets and one older set.  It was really fun to make and I love how it turned out!



To create this card, I started with an A2 card base.  I then added a mat of soft seafoam green.  Then I gold foiled a piece of white paper using the Essential Duo Line Glimmer Ovals which is an older set using gold foil. (If you do not have this set, simply use whatever you have, or just omit the  oval all together.)  I cut it slightly larger that the oval and placed it on the card so that the top had a larger border.     Then I created my watering can by cutting some brushed silver because I wanted it to look like an old time watering can.  I assembled it and cut numerous flowers and greenery from several different colors of cardstock.  They were then arranged and glued into the watering can.  It was then glued to the front of the card.

For the sentiment, I used the Happy Birthday Wishes die set and cut the background of the words using mirror gold cardstock to match the glimmer oval.  Then I cut out the letters from white cardstock and arranged and glued them to the mirrored gold pieces.  They were then glued to the front of the card. 

I hope you enjoyed this card, and will try it for yourself!
