A Fun Birthday Card

I have another preview card for you today, a fun birthday card using See Ya Later.  I love this Sale-a-bration set, it has a little bit of everything!  When I saw that Catherine and Cathy Create had a birthday challenge, I knew that See Ya Later was the stamp set to go with.

Isn't this a fun design!  I wanted to use Birthday Basics DSP and the candles seemed like the right one for this card.  My card color palette was based off the colors in the DSP.  I used Bermuda Bay, Raspberry Ripple, and Smokey Slate.

I really had fun doing the offset card design for my Thursday Color Challenge card, so I thought I'd do another for this card.  The layering is different than I normally do, there's a lot going on there!

1.  I die cut a circle in Bermuda Bay to layer behind the greeting.  The greeting was stamped with Bermuda Bay and die cut with a Deco Label framelit.

2. I next added in a Raspberry ripple banner that I made by cutting a strip of card stock and using my hexagon punch to make the banner end.  The banner went behind the greeting.

3.  I cut a strip of Smokey Slate card stock then die cut the bottom with the Large Scallop Edgelit.  I added it under the greeting.  I originally had thought I would leave it like that, but something didn't look right.  So, I added a very thin strip of Raspberry Ripple card stock to the top of the Smokey Slate and it looked better.

4.  Lastly, I added in a bunch of cute little flowers using the Itty Bitty Punch Pack.  There are four Bermuda Bay flowers along the Smokey Slate and three Raspberry Ripple ones above the greeting.  I like how the two balance each other out.  A small rhinestone gem was added to the middle of each flower for a little sparkle.

I hope you like the offset look as much as I do!  It's always fun to mix things up a little and try something new!

Thanks for stopping by again!  I still have another 3D treat to share that features the Spiral Flower Die that I'll be sharing tomorrow, so be sure to check back!
