For today's WT I've made a birthday card with some of my favourite things. I did start by getting out some Royal and Langnickel coffee-themed rub-ons (one of the best rub-ons out there, I think) in honour of Michelle but then the card went another way.
Fun folds are one of my favourites, so I tried out the new Six Fold Card tutorial. I did a double-take when I first saw it, as it's so like the triangle trifold which I love, but this has an extra twist.
Other favourite things - birds, Basic Grey paper, music...
I used Basic Grey Marrakech for all the papers except the flower on the front which is plain white card embossed with Swiss Dots.
Bird (Spellbinders Bird Sanctuary) was sponged in the die with some green ink and popped up on foam. Branch is a scrap of brown cut with a die-namics die. The sentiment panel was cut with Mega Ovals, stamped with a HA sentiment and edged with Liquid Pearls. The ribbon is a bit wider than I'd like but was the most suitable colour I had. Flower is Sizzix Flowers Daisies #2, two of the largest and one smaller one. Each layer is popped up on foam, and I added a button for the centre. The front of the little flaps which open up to reveal the sentiment are decorated with Cuttlebug Vintage corners.
Looking at the photo I think I'll lift the scalloped circle off and back it with some more DP!
