CASology Week 131: Birthday






Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for another challenge at CASology.  This one is fun and easy, and I sure hope to see a full gallery.  Our cue word is BIRTHDAY.  How fun is that?  

To make my clean and simple birthday card, I used one of my favorite birthday sentiment stamps--from Mama Elephant Make a Wish.  I inked up my stamp in Versamark and then with a very unique ink pad called Kaleidacolor.  It's got 5 different colors of ink all lined up together, and is great for stamping with multiple ink colors.  I clear embossed the sentiment, just to add a little more emphasis to those colors.



Will you play along this week?  I sure hope so.  What do you think of when you see the word BIRTHDAY? Wouldn't it be great to add some birthday cards to your stash?  Check out the beautiful designs from the CASology Design Team members and see how they were inspired by BIRTHDAY.  Don't forget to keep your card Clean and Simple.



Thanks for Visiting
