Hello crafty friends! I have a birthday card to share with you today that features the Frilly Frames Herringbone Die Set from Sunny Studio Stamps. I combined this set with the Frilly Frames Hexagon Die Set because I wanted a scalloped edge to go with my design. (Affiliated links where applicable at no extra charge to you.)

I used images from both the Love Monkey and Tropical Scenes Stamp Sets. All of my images were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with Copic Markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

For my background, I blended some Antique Linen, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Inks. I splattered this blend with both water and diluted white, green, and brown paints for some added interest. To create my circle frame in the center, I used a basic circle die to cut a circle in the top center of my herringbone design and then used the Fancy Frame Circle Die Set to cut a scalloped circular frame from white card stock.

Lastly, I heat embossed my sentiment (from both the Love Monkey and Savanna Safari Stamp Sets) onto a strip of black card stock using Fine Detail White Embossing Powder.

Awwww, this is adorable. Look at the smitten monkey giving his sweetheart a love note. So sweet! I adore how you blended the background. Such bright colors and the herringbone looks wonderful. Terrific card, Rachel. Made me smile. 🙂 Hugs!
Thank you kindly, sweet Jeanne!
Oh those bashful winsome smiles! This card is perfect as either a masculine or feminine card. The colour combination and blending is perfection and would brighten any ones day. Greetings from Aus. In complete admiration of your work, Adam.
