Belated Birthday Wishes



I've got a belated birthday card for today, and by the time you read this post, it will be on its way across the pond to a very special bloggy friend.  This card is busier and more layered than my normal cards, however I wanted to play along with Make it Monday #202:  Anchoring with Border and Banner Dies.  I think I struck sort of a compromise.  At least the top half of the card is CAS, and I tried to keep my die cuts 'airy'.



The dies I used to anchor my focal point are Just the Ticket--cut from vellum and embossed in white, Circle Scribbles in Winter Wisteria, Super Star Border Die in Limeade Ice and Loop de Loop II Border Die in Melon Berry.  My colors are from this week's ColourQ #281, and I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday No Rules and Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.





Thanks for Visiting

  13. Nicely done Joyce with your very fun and festive card! I was a little iffy on this MIM challenge because layering really isn't my thing but you rocked it. Still seems clean and simple to me despite the multiple layers. Very cool.

  16. This is super sweet, Joyce! You did a great job at keeping it simple with all the layers. The vellum layer of "Just The Ticket" is ingeniously done. You pulled off all your layers and still kept your card CAS. Love it!

  24. You rocked this, Joyce!! This may be my new favourite card of yours. Love the colours you chose and the layers are perfect. When I try to layer things like this it just looks like I've dropped a bunch of random stuff onto my card. LOL! Your layers all work together so well!
