Create An Ombre Birthday Card with Forever Forest Dies

Create a Masculine Birthday Card with the So Sincere Stamp Set and Forever Forest Dies by Stampin' Up! Mary Fish, Stampin' Pretty (3)

Today’s card incorporates the ombre shades (Petal Pink, Calypso Coral and Cajun Craze) from last Tuesday’s color combination post.  They are the perfect background for the Early Espresso modern tree forms cut with Forever Forest Dies.

WHAT I LOVE! The So Sincere stamp set is a “go to” for sentiment essentials.  This vertical Happy Birthday works beautifully with the design of the card.
