This is the first of 2 cards I made for Cindy, this week's Featured Stamper. Both cards were inspired by this colorful card.
For this card, I kept the "Celebrate" die, the multicolored pattern feature and the same general layout. I turned my card the other direction, and ised a background stamp from Penny Black and the emboss resist technique in place of Cindy's stenciled version. Rather than the black die cut word, I sponged a rainbow of colors using Distress Oxides and cut my sentiment from that. I added a thin black strip and stamped/embossed my sentiment in white on a black background to make my colors pop.
I still had several of the MFT birdies on my desk, so I had to add one before calling the card done.
Also submitting for this week's CAS Challenge to use banners.
Thanks, Cindy, for the inspiration!
