Sharing a CAS style Birthday card

Welcome to Becca's Quest for Love and Creativity blog!

What: an elegant birthday card in Clean and Simple style in white and silver/gray

Who: ABOMCB's #3 Pop-Its fidget item prompt and Pin-spirational April theme birthday with white and silver and/or gold were the 2 main challenge blogs that gave me the creative mojo for this card

When: ABOMCB #3 is April 15-May 14 and Pin-spirational is from April 1 to the end of the month. Other challenge blogs that I will link to will vary.

White and Silver Star-Shine Birthday card=

 


Notes:

1. gray and white cardstocks; iridescent gems = stash

2. silver with embossed stars decorative tape = gifted from a marvelous and generous crafting friend

3. starburst stencil pattern was traced onto white cardstock; I then put bubble wrap under it first while doing texture rubbing kind of coloring with a silver metallic crayon and when a gray colored pencil; but I wasn't getting round dot patterning just a bit of curviness to the shape; so I got one of my gem sticker sheets and place it under the stenciled/traced shape and did more texture rubbing. This was all due to the Pop-Its prompt theme at A Barrel of Monkeys challenge blog.

4. birthday wishes stamp = also gifted from the marvelous and generous crafting friend

    With this design and color scheme this card is suitable for both men and women, youth as adults. And your card has a great layout and could be adapted to a sketch to use as inspiration for others. Thanks for sharing with us at INKspirational!
