Harvest Meadow Birthday Bouquet

 Greetings!

The Harvest Meadow Suite has such a wonderful assortment of items!  You truly never run out of ways to combine the various elements to come up with something fresh and new each time.

For this card I chose the Harvest Dies and the gorgeous Harvest Meadow Designer Series Papers.  The dies have such a realistic look to the silhouettes that it feels like they're actual dried flowers, grasses and branches.  Adding a cut piece of the Paper Lattice behind the bouquet is a great compliment to the beautiful papers as are the square cut gems set like diamonds.  Wrapping the stems with a little Misty Moonlight/Silver Baker's Twine  pulls in a bit more of the lovely blue hues.

Feels like a breath of fresh air!

Isn't it lovely!  It evokes the feeling of a lovely walk on a cool Autumn day.  This card is very gender neutral as well so it's a great card to help anyone celebrate their birthday.
