happy Birthday - Less is More - The Paper Players

Greetings!

Today, I'm playing in two challenges ...

Less is More Week #278 - Sketch

The Paper Players - PP297 - Tic Tac Toe.  I used the top line of yellow, twine, birthday.

For the yellow panel, I used a birthday background stamp and stamped/heat embossed using white pigment ink and white embossing powder.  Then, I colored over the embossing using three colors of yellow Distress Ink (Scattered Straw, Mustard Seed, Wild Honey) and cut following the sketch. Then, I die-cut a square frame and wrapped hemp cord (twine) around the top of the frame. The card is finished with a die-cut 'happy' and stamped 'Birthday' sentiment.  To give the 'happy' a glossy look, a couple coats of Gelly Roll Glaze Pen were applied.

Wish you a fun-filled day!

Marilyn
