AAA Birthday Card challenge #75

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's a new month and time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday card challenges. This month it is our very own queen of rainbows Kati who has chosen the theme, and the theme for the month is - 

Summer Birthday

a fun theme, perfect for the month of July (at least if you live in the northern hemisphere). Here is my summer birthday card

My card is a summer take on the card I created for the "winter birthday" theme we had back in January this year. Here is a link to my winter birthday card.

I started by die cutting the white background panel for this card. I then stamped and heat embossed the panel using white embossing powder to get a subtle effect. It does show in real life but was difficult to catch on camera. Here is a close up, where you might see it a little bit better

The little girl was stamped and coloured before I fussy cut her out (not my favourite thing to do). I die cut the birthday greeting and placed the girl so that she sits on top of the sentiment. Now I had to decide on the backgound for the panel and the greeting. I tryed a variety of papers, plain and patterned, but in the end I decided to go with the green for a fresh Scandinavian look. The whole thing was addhered to a card base and my card was done. I hope you like it, and that you are inspired to join us in this fun summer challenge!

You have until the 31st of July to create, upload and link your Summer Birthday card to the AAA Birthday card challenge blog. The challenge blog is filled with fun, beautiful and mouth watering birthday cards by the design team and our special guest designer for the month, Pauline. I love Paulines card, it is beautiful and it really screams summer.
