Seven green and blue gems

This weekend is a special one on CBC, because the forum was seven years old on Thursday 12 March. Sue has arranged a series of birthday bash challenges. This is the first opportunity I've had to make anything for these, so this is a birthday card for challenge 1: 'I need a BIRTHDAY CARD with 7 items the same on there – happy for them to vary in colour BUT the item MUST be the same.'

So I've chosen gems as my seven items - six blue and one green.

The overall theme of the card is green and blue combo, fitting with this week's challenge on Createdbyhand.

The image is a glittered rub on - this is for My Time to Craft challenge 52: Woman!

The main paper is K & Co Addison, which itself is glittered, although the photo doesn't pick that up.

I just used a craft knife to cut into the swirl to slot in the image.

This is also good for Inspire Me Thursday swirl challenge this week, as the cut into swirl is quite a feature of the card.
