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
A super cute card. I love the fun colors.

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.
ReplyDeleteLove your use of the dies Joyce and that cake looks good enough to eat so I'm sure your friend will love it after its long journey.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.

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!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so fun!
ReplyDeleteCAS, fun, bright...it's got it all! Well done! :0)
ReplyDeleteJoyce...this is just so festive! Love that sweet cupcake with all the trimmings in such fun colors. Thank you so much for playing along with us at ColourQ, hope to see you again next week.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this one, Joyce! It may be more layered than your norm, but it is fabulous and brilliantly festive.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun and fabulous party on a card, Joyce ... those streamers around the yummy cupcake are so festive ... it's brilliant! I passed on this MIM 'cause I couldn't figure out how to keep it CAS ... you've done it perfectly ... love it! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove this card Joyce-taking a blog break but had to see what you had been up to!
ReplyDeleteFabulous birthday card! Love the die-cut borders! Thanks for playing along with the ColourQ this week!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun birthday card, Joyce! I really love how you placed the streamers and stars, and the circle scribbles die cut is fabulous behind the cupcake!
ReplyDeleteYou 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun, fun card! I love how you used the focal point to anchor your various borders. Awesome card design!
