Hello, all, I'm pleased to be officially at Simply CAS Challenge as a new Design Team member! CAS is really my favorite technique, so I'm looking forward to this.
Darlene has selected the optional theme for July as "Birthdays" and I wanted to highlight July 4th as the 250th birthday for the US (hoping we can survive this year).
The only element of this card that is remotely current is the sentiment from Hero Greetings "Messages for cardmaking" - everything else is quite old because I haven't purchased any July 4th supplies for several years. The cupcake is from I don't know who. The sparkler is from an old PTI set. I started with a white card base and matching die cut stitched panel. I stamped the cupcake in dark blue on the card base and colored the flag with marker. I die cut a rectangular opening in the top panel, stamped the sparkler and sentiment, and lined the opening with dark blue cardstock. The top panel was attached with dimensional foam.
I do hope you will join us each month to play with CAS technique - and check out what the rest of the team has created to inspire you!
Such a clever card for our 250th birthday, I should of thought of that LOL, welcome to the team, we are super happy to have you join us. I'm hoping our country does better in the coming years! Have a safe and Happy 4th!
