Today’s card is featuring Country Woods Designer Paper. I rarely use an entire pack of paper, but this has been a favorite, and I’m down to bits and pieces. I managed to have enough for this background by cutting strips, using a Textured Notes Die. I lined up the ten strips on a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Country Woods Wishes
After gluing nine strips in place, I stamped the tenth strip with a sentiment in Early Espresso Ink, and attached it with Mini Dimensionals. “You A Happy Birthday” is from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set. The first part of the sentiment, “Wishing,” is from the coordinating, Delightful Wishes Die Set. I cut the word from Country Woods DSP, and backed it with Basic Beige Cardstock.

To complete the design, I used a Thankful Garden Die to cut leaves from another piece of Country Woods Designer Paper. Then, I added three, Neutral Matte Dots in white, as a final touch.

I was inspired by the TGIF Challenge.
