Happy Little Stampers Case The Designer September 2016...Happy Birthday

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

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

I was inspired by Asa's colored bird, her theme of happy birthday with a big 'happy' and also the focal point on a die cut circle.

I used my Technique Tuesday Chickadees, lightly colored with Copics.  I die cut a stitched circle, and then inlaid it back into the card front, after popping up the card front with foam tape.  I wanted a little bit of added dimension to the card.

Our challenge will run for the entire month of September.  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

Hello

I have a quick post today with a card that uses the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #168.  I had been meaning to play all week, and now I am sneaking in right before the deadline.  I used Technique Tuesday Chickadees, NBUS from months ago.

Do you have something in your stash you have never used?  If so, go play at Darnell's NBUS challenge.  (I'm not linking this card up because I would be over the limit, but YOU can still play!)

I realized I never posted the picture of when I met Cathy for coffee on Thursday.  It was so much fun to visit and catch up.  Click here to read about our 'first date'.
