This week for the Stampin' B's DT challenge, Lois challenged us to use GREEN, BLUE, and PINK on our cards.
I thought those colors would be perfect for a birthday card! I used Flourishes' Let Them Eat Cake set to build up my birthday layer cake on a filigree stand. I found the perfect DP to fit the challenge colors in a pad of designer paper from The Angel Company (Whimsy Blossoms) that I've had for years. I just love the bright colors in this collection. I added a little zigzag stitching, Martha Stewart deco fan corner punches, rhinestones, buttons, and ribbon for a bit of pizzazz and called it a day. This is a rather large card, 5" x 7". Along with the sentiment, "Birthdays are nature's way of telling us to eat more cake," there's plenty of room inside for LOTS of birthday wishes!!
