Adding to my stash of birthday cards. This time a masculine style.
The background uses an embossing folder that I bought to get fishy scales, but after a bit of a think, it's also like feathers! The die shape is Simon Says Stamps squaoval nesting cut to a wonky frame and laid it over some repurposed gold wrapping paper. The Happy Birthday die is an old Poppy Stamps one, I love the wacky font. The branch is Memory Box. The Spellbinders raven/crow is all different shades of brown (the bird is not black! but is a very dark chocolate brown), kraft and a dark cream used. A gold many layered thread bow.
