Words & Wishes Bundle + Moonlit Flora Collections + Everyday Arches Dies

Old Olive is definitely one of my favorite greens!  Here are a few details about this card.
-I created an arched frame by using two different sized arches.
-Before I die cut the ferns, I applied Old Olive ink on Old Olive cardstock using a blending brush.  
-I applied adhesive sheet to the back of the Old Olive cardstock prior to die cutting the words 
Happy Birthday, making it much easier to apply to the word shadows.

Natural Artistry Stamp Set + Everyday Arches Dies + Stylish Shapes Dies

A simple arched frame allows for the Peacock to be a stunning, yet simple, focal point.  There are no coordinating dies for this stamp set, so I fussy cut the peacock.  Isn't she just lovely?  I've used the Antique Pearls to accentuate the framing.  I love these pearls because they seem to go with everything.
