Happy Birthday, Donny

Wishing our dear friend, Don K, a wonderful year ahead!  So many changes, so much to look forward to and so many treasured memories.  

I love how this card turned out. (one of my alltime favorites)  I did a shadow box onto the black mat with one of the maple leaves, and used background paper designed by Snickerdoodle designs by Karen.  Leaves are diecut from the Spellbinders Leaves S2-199 and burnished with both distress oxide and distress inks, and some are spritzed with clear Shimmer.   Rhinestones and the Birthday Sentiment cut with Avery Elle "sentimental" die.  Leaf Stickers are Jolees. Punched oak leaves are Emagination punch.
