Looped Circle Birthday Card

Back again!  A few more challenges…

Facebook Colour INKspiration Challenges are a favorite and the pastels or subtle color collection is one I generally struggle with.  So, what to do with (#160)?  Then along comes a sketch from Atlantic Hearts (#567) and the light bulb went off!

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Highland Heather cardstock.
• Background Panel: (5⅜” x 4⅛”) Basic White cardstock.
• Cross Strips: (½” x 4⅛”) and (5⅜” x ½”) Highland Heather Gingham patterned piece of paper from my scrap bin.
• Circles: Highland Heather, Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Soft Sea Foam cardstock scraps die-cut with all of the Stitched Circle dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies set to create the off-side Rings.
• Sentiment Tag: Basic White cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, Happy Birthday, from the Artistically Inked stamp set was split stamped using the Highland Heather Stampin’ Write Marker.
  • The sentiment was then die-cut with the smallest Stitched Tag die from the Tailor Made Tags Dies set.
• Bow: Basic White Baker’s Twine dyed with Highland Heather ink (via a water bath) and tied into a simple bow.

All elements were adhered to the card base to resemble the sketch.  The Sentiment Tag was popped up with Dimensionals and finished off with the Bow.

A fun and funky birthday card great for sweet teen.
