Happy Bir-day

My how the days pass so quickly! It's that time again for a Monday Montage Blog Hop. I am sharing my Happy Bir-day card that I made with the Bird's Eye View Stamp Set.

Since the background included a wild mix of stripes, a floral print, and a tone on tone leaf design I chose to keep the color for the focal birds. By leaving the stacks of book all white I think it adds a sense of calm and a place for the eye to rest.

For the birds I used Stampin' Blends to bring them to life with color. I used the colors from the DSP as my palette which included Bubble Bath, Copper Clay, Old Olive, and Lemon-Lime Twist.

I do enjoy adding a pop of interior decor to my cards. I had some leftover birds and a strip of DSP so I zhuzhed up the inside cover.

Thanks for hopping to my blog and for visiting with me. Next up in our hop is Emily or you can work backwards to Cheryl.
