I just loved Danielle Flanders "quick birthday cards in a pinch" tutorial at the Weekly Scrapper. You can see the tut here. I always seem to be making cards at the last minute so I decided to make a few of these myself. I decided to use the latest color throwdown challenge.
I have to admit I never in a million years would have paired mint green with orange but it looks great!
The word celebrate is a free die cut file from Scrapbook and Cards Today. "Its your" comes from Papertrey ink's Wonderful Words: Bithday Mini stamp set. The word "birthday" comes from Papertrey Ink's Vintage Picnic stamp set. I hand drew the exclamation points. It's hard to tell in the photo but the stars are actually glittery. I punch them out of white, colored with white wink of stella glitter brush maker and layered on top with glossy accents. It really looks like a purchased embellishment in person. I think the stars make this card a little more masculine then the sequins Daniel used. I did one more card in mint green too.
A friend of mine gave me a bright paper pack to make some cards for her. I tend to shy away from big bold colors but I figured this style of card would work well for this pack of bright colors so...
It was nice participating in a challenge again. I look forward to doing more in the future! Thanks for stopping by! Please come back again!
