Fall-ish Birthday

It was Daughter #3's Birthday almost two months ago now...  I had made this card earlier but left it "un-sentimented" so I could use it for whatever the occasion.  With all the festivies between mid-August and early September, I was frantic!  So..... I went to my box of pre-made cards and resurrected this one for her Birthday!


What I really liked about this card is the distressed woodgrain inking on the background.  I love the color I chose and how it played into the strip of cs, and a good contrast to the fall die cuts; however, it's the one thing that also didn't photograph the best!  Frustrating, but I'll get over it...and a close-up:

Hopefully the background woodgrain is more visible, and you can see a bit more of the inking I did on each of the dies.

Are you ready for fall?  Well, actually it's been going on awhile but I happen to love the fall air, the brisk mornings and all those gloriously colored leaves!  Hope yours is wonderful!

Hugs,
TK

Fall in Scotland is beautiful....especially when it's dry, crisp and cold...(not so beautiful when it rains....) Gorgeous background on your card and I can see the technique and it looks great. Gorgeous colours and lovely layout too x

I can see the woodgrain in all your card photos, TK! Agree, it adds a lot to the card. I also LOVE that you've added blue to the mix of fall colours with the strip and sentiment. They look awesome together. xx
