It's color challenge time at less is more this week ~ color : green.
I think I have enough Christmas cards, so I decided to make a birthday card with the sentiment as main feature.
The sentiment is computer generated. What is nice about this type of open font, is that you can do so much with it. If you keep it small, you can leave it as is, or only edit the color. If you use it in a bigger format, you can color it with markers or paper piece it like I did in this card.
I paper pieced each letter with a different patterned paper (great way to use scraps!)
As always... I'm sharing it with... YOU!
There are more like this one in the side bar labeled "free sentiments". You are welcome to use it. A link back would be appreciated!

Loving the clean and simple look of your card. You cut out a lot and it looks like it is just stamped on the card. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome creation with us at 4 Crafty Chicks.
