St. Patrick's Day Birthday Card

 Hello, I'm a few days late but I wanted to share my Mom's St. Patrick's Day themed birthday card with you (her birthday is March 17th!) The card is made with all sorts of Tim Holtz products and techniques inspired by his recent YouTube Saturday videos. It's mounted onto a stand cut using Eileen Hull's handy Display Stand Die. This way the card can also serve as a holiday decoration.

Here's another look:

And the back with the stand mechanism popped up:

Here are some in process photos:

I cut the stand out of Sizzix mat board. The front card part I assembled completely before adhering it to the stand. (Layers: base of Woodgrain cardstock, then embossed layer, then Baseboards Lace Frame.

I used a palette of neutrals of various Distress inks, sprays and Crayons to color all the parts (Antique Linen, Pumice Stone, Hickory Smoke, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo).

I cut a multitude of flowers and foliage out of similarly colored cardstock and colored coffee filters. I ended up with a lot of extras so I'll have to make something else with those.

Thanks for stopping by! My blog has been quiet lately but I have other projects in the works! Check in early next week for the next reveal. =)
