Happy Birthday

While I rarely use patterned paper, I had a yen for a bit of plaid in order to make a few cheery December birthday cards.  Pre-printed papers seemed to be the way to go and I am happy with the cozy results . . .

The bottom of the card features snowflake dies that were used with an embossing sandwich instead of a die cutting stack:  this gave the panel some wintery-themed texture which I hope the camera is kind enough to pick up . . .
