Happy Birthday!

Hi again!  This is my 2nd post today.  Scroll down to see the first post.

My kids are napping after a very fun morning so I thought I'd play along with a few challenges. (then I will be napping too hehe)

Have you heard of the new Rose Blossom Garden Challenge Blog?  You should check it out!  The blog has challenges using the ctmh circut cartridges and I'd like to mention these lovely and talented ladies are fellow ctmh sisters.  I wanted to play along in their first ever challenge which is challenge using the 'Happy Birthday' key on the Artiste cartridge- page 70.  The sketch I used was from Freshly Made Sketches and the color combo is from Color My Heart- use Blush, Hollyhock, Outdoor Denim and Sunset (all ctmh colors).



Here is my creation:

Claire was the perfect fit for the color combo- not to mention that I love this paperpack!  You can't tell in the picture but the chevron ribbon has been inked with Blush to give it a different look.  I didn't use any stamps on this card, only the Happy Birthday and cloud cut from the Artiste cartridge.  Sure was fun to combine these challenges.  If you get a chance, remember to stop over at the Rose Blossoms Garden.  They are giving away a stampset to the winner and you will really enjoy the dt creations.

Have a great rest of your day!

    Isn't that chevron paper the best thing in pink and orange? You did a great job linking up the challenges. I'll have to check out Rose Blossom--could use some inspiration with the Cricut cartridges. Thanks for playing along this week at Color My Heart!

    Love the CAS style but the great detail you add!

    I really like this card. The colors look great together. I really like how the ribbon looks with the ink dabbed on it. It gives it a softer look. Hope all is good.
