I loved Shirl's cool trees with the added colors, so I went for that and added a wood DP, too. I used a blue layer and made a masculine birthday card. Thanks for the inspiration Shirl!!
I got to visit with my childhood friend and her family. Her dad and I share our birthday. I hand delivered this card and he opened it while I was there. He got a kick out of the rhinestones, saying I gave him diamonds for his birthday. He has a funny sense of humor.

Awesome CASE of Shirl's great card. I adore the colors you used here and the offset of the two main panels -- great shapes btw. I like that banner across the tag too -- I will need to try that sometime. LOVE that the recipient quipped he got "diamonds" for his birthday. How fun to have that reaction to this great card.

Michelle, this is beyond gorgeous. I love the look of offset panels and using those dies, looks even more spectacular. Great thinking outside of the box. Too funny about the diamonds, lol. I love trees and woodgrain and LOVE your case! Thank you for honoring me with this beautiful card!

This is stunning! Love, love, love the forest you created with the Wonderland pines and the tip-tilty panels add nice movement and interest. Popping this into my Favs for inspiration! TFS

What a lovely masculine card! I love tree images and buy them all the time and then hardly use them. This goes into my favourites! I really like the design of this card!
