The Topping, as always, is optional. Just as long as it's a birthday card!
My first thought was to use red, white and blue for the 4th of July holiday, but I decided to go in a completely different direction. I wanted a feminine card with clean lines/stripes.
My stripes are very subtle. I used a Stripes Cover Plate die, but instead of using the frame portion of the die cut, I used the strips that were cut out of the cover plate. Then I added some die cut leaves and a few ribbon rosettes. I'm really pleased with the results. It was exactly what I had in mind when I started.
YES...once in a while that actually happens!
Anyway, I hope you'll click on over to the Seize The Birthday challenge blog and see what my ever-so-talented team mates have created. Then...join in. We love to see what you create!
