Happy birthday card

Card base is 5 ½ x 8 ½  and made with natural cardstock.  Using  Spellbinder’s  Card Creator Dies matting basics A and B I cut out the dark brown card stock mat and then the printed paper mat.  Using two smaller dies from the same card creator set I made the background with dark brown cardstock and then the smaller with cream cardstock.  I stamped with HCPC3464 Barnyard Elements with espresso ink.

I cut the windmill from brown cardstock using the HCD Rustic Western Elements Die.

I tied brown twine around the patterned paper mat and made a small bow.  Then I assembled the card.

I stamped Happy Birthday above the matted barn photo.
