MDS Tradition 39

Last year I made a birthday page with MDS so this year I thought I'd carry out the tradition and maybe someday I'll attempt to go backwards but I think I'm missing a few years of my life when it comes to photographs.

This took me a while but it was still fun. I always start with another page as my inspiration but end up moving things a little to make it all work.

For the words and numbers: I used the Schoolbook Serif Stamp. I adjusted the sizing and the spacing of every letter to get what I wanted. Yeah, I did that.

For the flowers: I used the Happy Bday Flowers but since the larger one is actually an outline, I filled in the spaces with the circle punch in white. The dots are from the Happy Bday Elements and I hid the extra dots by putting a square punch in Crumb Cake (Kraft on MDS) over the extra ones.

For the trim (in Real Red): I used the scallop trim punch. I flipped one and lined them up to create a rick-rack effect.

Now of course, I want more downloads!
