I'm back today with another birthday card. There is always someone having a birthday and that is by far the most common reason to send a card to those you love! This card was born out of a desire to play with a new bundle and I really wasn't sure what the end product would like like. Here it is:
The bundle is from the annual catalog, "Biggest Birthday Ever". I was intrigued by the slice of cake and what to put on those layers. I fiddled around with color, paper and finally settled on washi tape! Quite a diversion from where I started. I taped the washi tape on a plain white piece of card stock, taking care to line up the layers perfectly so they would show through the open slots on the piece of cake die cut. I felt like this card needed something more so I added a sparkly crown with bling... just what every queen needs! I finished it off with a Happy Birthday and EAT CAKE!
I'm a little conflicted on whether this card was right on the mark or slightly off. I think the color scheme was different and somewhat crazy with perhaps a little too much going on. What do you think? I would love your feedback!!
