On Your Birthday

Leave a Comment / By Mary / March 3, 2012

For the second challenge for the CAS DT search we were given an inspiration photo to work from. What a fun playground scene. Inspiration photos are always interesting because there is often so many different ways to go.

I had been looking around on Jen del Muro’s site and found a cute card and just fell in love with the layout! I also notice many, many, many cool CAS layouts on her site…way to go Jen! You are rockin’ that style! But anyway…that layout was perfect for what I wanted to do with the inspiration photo. I was inspired by the bright, happy colors and the numbers so decided to make birthday card. The base of the card is Whisper White and I rounded the corners on the right side of the card. Next I took the red/white star print from the Big Top Birthday dsp pack, again rounded the corners on the right and layered it onto the card front. I added two pieced of Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon to represent the ‘bars’ in the photo. I stamped the happy birthday in Basic Black and added Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Tempting Turquoise brad underneath. For the number I adhered a piece of Pacific Point cardstock to a piece of cardboard (that come with the dsp pack), used my simple numbers die to cut out the 3 then added that to the card front using dimensionals. Fun and so simple!

Set(s):	On Your Birthday
Paper:	Whisper White, Pacific Point, Big Top Birthday dsp
Ink:	Basic Black
Other:	Brights Brads, Daffodil Delight 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon, Corner Rounder, dimensionals

Until next time…HAPPY STAMPIN’!
