Rainbow Leaves Slimline Birthday Card

Hello crafty friends ...

Today I'm sharing a stencilled Slimline Birthday card that will be donated to my Mom's old nursing home. As soon as I opened this pretty Slimline Stencil from Stamplorations, I knew I had to make it into a rainbow. 

I used the new Long Crosshatch dies from Karen Burniston - love those edges! The Happy Birthday is from the Oh Shiitake stamp set. Lots of their sets include a great size of sentiments.

One evening I went into my craft room and stamped a bunch of YNS birthday sentiments onto black card stock and heat embossed them with white embossing powder. The next evening I cut them into strips, with dies or a trimmer and added them into a plastic envelope. Now all I have to do is poke around in the envelope and grab an already trimmed and embossed sentiment for my card!

Here is a peek at the inside, where I added a strip cut from rainbow packing tape as well as a stamped sentiment.

This card will be donated to my Mom's old nursing home.
