More birthdays

Another male birthday I need to make a card for...what do you do for someone who doesn't like football, camping, beer, computers.... well with the stamps I had, I went for neutral ferns! I was inspired by this card:
Let it Snow card
It's part of the Create Along With Us challenge by Papertrey Ink.

I used Papertreys' Meadow Greens set to stamp and emboss the leaves, using a white embossing powder. ( See this post on how to emboss). I then patted some distress inks on my Teflon craft sheet, spritzed them with water and dabbed my card on them. Following that I sponged on some more colours directly to the card to give a different look and spritzed again. 
I used the same colour Distress Inks to stamp on the kraft coloured background card. 
Happy Birthday was cut using my Silhouette Cameo machine, and the front card was matted on blue then tied with white twine. 
Distress Inks used: Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire.
