For today’s Blog Hop I created a simple birthday card. I started by using patterned paper from Celebrations 6x6 Paper Pack for my background. Next, I die cut leafy branches from Dainty Leaves Die Set out of white cardstock and coloured them with green markers from Tropical Garden Artist Alcohol Markers Set E

happy birthday 

As a final step I added some snowdrops from Craft-A-Flower: Snowdrops Layering Die Set and stamped my sentiment from Birthday Builder Stamp Set
