Shabby Chic Birthday

I have two cards to share today; same design but different color schemes.  These are actually the designs I made for all of my Mother's Day cards this year and I liked them so much I went ahead and made some birthday variations for the shop.

The main image is from Papertrey's Wreath for All Seasons. So pretty! The wreath is stamped on a Mat Stack 1 die cut, and the birthday sentiment is stamped on a Word Window punch out. Both of those layers are popped up with foam tape.

The Crumb Cake panel was impressed with my Wood Grain impression plate and the bottom was punched with a Martha Stewart Doily Lace Edge border punch.

And here's the second one! Instead of using an impression plate I opted for a pretty pattern paper that closely matched the Mauve Mist card base. It's from SU!'s Springtime Vintage collection.

The paper doilies behind the focal images on both cards were tea dyed. After they were dry I went back and lightly sponged the edges to make them a bit darker. 

I hope you enjoyed these cards as much as I enjoyed making them!
