Happy Birthday Card using the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set

I am really pleased that the Sheltering Tree stamp set has carried over to the new catalogue. I hadn't had a chance to use it yet and with a few family birthdays approaching I thought now would be the perfect opportunity. Its lovely to stamp with and I can't wait to use it again.

With winter long behind us now and summer on its way, I found it fitting to give these cards a spring
like feel.... This is what I love about this set, just a change of colours and your projects can look like any of the four seasons. 

The additional stamps included are so cute. The broom, the swing and the bicycle are all fabulous and with the stamps being photopolymer you can easily see where to line up your stamp where you want them to be.

I ùsed my Scoring Stylus tool and Simply Scored scoring board to make a raised border. I also used various punches and layers to give the sentiments some dimension. 

I hope you have enjoyed my card project today. Come back on Saturday for my next project using those scraps of DSP that you can't bear to throw away.
