New and Recycled Card

It was my birthday earlier this month and one of the cards has this cut out sentiment

I used on of my new embossing/die folders to cut the aperture and emboss the foliage

I then used some new blending tools (first time at this technique) to colour the embossed bits

The recycled bit from my birthday card was simply place behind the aperture 

and then a green bit of card used to mat it all.

This card is for the following challenges
