AAA Cards Challenge #190...Our Seventh Birthday

 


How exciting to have sponsors who will be giving gifts for our birthday!
All you need to do is make a clean and simple birthday card and post it to the site.
I decided to look back at some of our design ideas from the past and found one that I wanted to expand upon.
I chose the 1” strip but I wanted to do the sentiment big and over top of it.
The base card is white card stock that I taped to my glass mat and used the 1” lines to mask off.
Next I used the smallest stamp on Cas-ual Fridays Stamps “Bold Wishes” with my Kaleidacolor desert heat ink pad and stamped the strip.
With the sentiment from the same set and Memento tuxedo black ink I applied it to the card front after removing the tape.

Come join in the fun!

  22. I love this dramatic look Arlene. The way the red flowers turn into orange is very effective and I like the way you layered a bold sentiment over it. Vicky x

  25. CAS is something I have always struggled with, not least the various definitions! It is thanks to AAA Cards and others like it that I am beginning to get there, albeit my way. Super cards like this are what have inspired and taught me to think CAS outside the box. Thank you. x
