Happy Little Stampers Case The Designer October 2016...Birthday Wishes





Hello and happy October.  I'm here to post a card for Happy Little Stampers Case the Designer challenge.

Our inspiration this month is provided by Birgit.  Take a look at this gorgeous inspiration card.

Birgit's Inspiration Card


I love the vintage-backgrounds that Birgit often creates for her cards, and I tried to so something similar on my card.  I started with a Soft Stone card front and stamped a text background stamp repeatedly over the entire page in very pale grey ink.  I added some snowflakes in Stormy Sea ink, stamped off once.



I also was inspired by the bird focal point on Birgit's card, and so that is what I used on my card.



Our challenge will run for the entire month of October.  I hope you will play along.  Please head over to the Happy Little Stampers Case the Designers blog to see more inspiration from the rest of the design team.

Thanks for Visiting
