Happy Birthday

 Hi guys, it's my Brother-in-laws Birthday soon, so of course I have the same problem every year what do you make for a fella especially one you've been making cards for a long while!! lol

This year I've gone for a hint of Autumn in the card,

As you can see I've used the fabulous Amazing grace Grand Christmas Lattice Arch die, I find this die so useful and have used it a few times non yet for Christmas, of course that's to come,

This time I cut it twice out of Kraft card stock layering up the layers with a few 3D pads,

I used some Mintay papers from the Cozy Evenings paper collection behind the totally adorable chipboard Mini owl by Dusty Attic which I got from The Mad Scrapper,

I added some white Gesso onto him then when dry went over with some distress ink, I did the same for the Dusty Attic branch too, I then went over the top of the branch with some more white Gesso spread  Lightly here and there with my finger,

I have this adorable Toadstool die in my stash, which I simply die cut out of watercolour paper then I added some distress ink over the top,
