Relax birthday

 Hi Everyone, a card for a nieces husband, I was stumped as to what to make, I saw a card on the web, loved the idea of the sentiment, so I cased it. I went through my files to see what I could find and found this chair. It was a digital stamp already coloured black, but I changed it to blue as I had found a paper pad that could be used for it. I printed out the chair and die cut it, I printed the sentiment and die cut that, then die cut the paper. I added blue Oxide ink to the edges of the white pieces of card, then added all of them to the base card. I kept it flat for overseas post.

chair - Marisa Lerin, Pine Tree Stamps 2024
blue pad - Craft Sensations, Marble 
dies - Sue Wilson Square noble dies
ink - Distress Oxide
 
this is the insert
the verse is my own
balloons - Marisa Lerin Make a Wish 2021
