I have a second entry to the current Seize the Birthday challenge. For this challenge, you can create any birthday card, but each challenge has a "topping" with a specific theme.
The current one is "foliage."
I borrowed a Papertrey Ink Bold Borders: Foliage from a friend recently and die cut a whole slew of them from different papers. I thought I'd try using two of them slightly offset. Since the Bold Borders die covers the whole card front I needed to snip off the outermost border on the second one before I could offset it.
The total frame was die cut with a relatively thin piece of gold textured paper from Michael's. The bronze paper is likewise lighter than the typical cardstock, and I think it, too, came from Michaels. I layered them on a card made from Simon Says "Burnt Orange" cardstock, and embossed the sentiment from Papertrey Ink's "Stylish Sentiments: Birthday" in gold.
It's a bit easier to see the two layers in this photo. I added three gold sequins before I got the card in the mail for a friend's birthday.
