Geometric Birthday

Today I am participating in the Rediscover your Supplies hop over on Instagram. There is a different theme used each month and this month was Geometric.

The premise of this hop is to find treasures hidden instead of buying new supplies. We are a group of crafters challenging other crafters to dig through your craft drawers, bins and shelves and rediscover what you have tucked away and forgotten. You may be surprised at what you have forgotten you had. If you would like to join us, hop on over to Instagram for all the deets.

To make this card, I stated with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I used a layering stencil that I had forgotten that I had (I think it’s retired now)by Pinkfresh Studio. I used distress ink to sorta match the color palette used in the hop. After I finished the background I ran it through with a geometric embossing folder by Simon Says Stamp. The greeting I used is by Waffle Flower.
