INCLUDE: green, yellow, blue, dots on right side, birthday sentiment with large happy, script 'birthday'
MODIFY: stencil instead of patterned paper, die cut happy,
EXCLUDE: vertical 'divider'
Anytime I see a layout that is divided in half, I immediately think "2 for 1"! I stenciled my confetti into the centre of a 8.5x6" panel of white cardstock, using similar colours to Carol's dots. I like how they space out to the edge, to give the left half of the card a cleaner look, similar to my inspiration. I edged the panels with a black copic marker for some subtle definition.
I cut my two layered sentiment/shadow once from white and once from black cardstock, to give me two different looks.
I stamped the script birthday with black ink in some of the clear space where the dots fade out toward the edge.

I adore these happy cards. You can never go wrong with dots and you went very RIGHT. Love the sentiment -- both the dies and the stamp (what a great font on the birthday stamp). As always, your fabulous card brings much inspiration. Now I can justify having bought so many dot stencils. Fav'd

Love the happy dots, Ardyth. Love the direction you took on the case, and the super happy and festive feel. Both cards are fabulous. I was inspired to do two cards as well. Fun. Thanks for doing the post too - yu are awesome! Hugz

Fantastic case! Love your idea of two for one. The polka-dots are so cute. Love how you stamped the sentiment where the dots fade out. Great cards. Into my favs!
Great set of cards, Ardyth! I love the polka dots and large sentiment! I actually notice the dots more with the white happy, rather than the black, but they're both wonderful!
