Today's Clean and Simple Challenge over at SCS was to make a CAS card with a birthday theme. I had pre-ordered the Circle Circus set when as a demonstrator I got a sneak peek of some of the new items back on June 1st. I really liked it, but once I had it in my hands I wasn't too sure what to do with the images. Ever have that happen before where you are so excited to get something only to have it sit on your shelf staring back at you LOL?
So today was the day I pulled the set back out and decided to show it some lovin' with our fabulous In Colours. I inked up several different images using Melon Mambo (of course!), Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay, and Crushed Curry. Then let the punching begin! One of the really great things about this set is that it corresponds perfectly with various sizes of our circle punches. I also used the Happy Birthday circle stamp from Wow Flowers and layered it with dimensionals on top of the large scallop circle image from Circle Circus. The base of the card is Whisper White and all the circles were also stamped on Whisper White. And what would a card be without wonderful polka dot ribbon?! The Fabulous Friend sentiment is from the really cute Really Retro set, it is full of cute short sayings and fits perfectly in the Word Window punch.
That's it, a very Clean and Simple birthday card. Have a great day!
