In honor of this event, I decided to make two birthday cards:

This is where my MISTI came in handy, because I used three distinct colors to create the ombre effect on this card. To add dimension, I stacked 4 layers of the die cut sentiment, and added a layer of dark gray cardstock to create a shadow. A few gem stones, flowers and a stamped sentiment, and this card was finished!

____________

For my 2nd card, I created three layers of cardstock in white, silver and red, and lined up diagonal strips of bright colored papers in rainbow order, before die cutting the sentiment. The embossed fireworks were part of a gift from a very sweet and generous friend...Thanks again, V!!!

Well, that's it for me today...I hope you'll visit us at the Addicted To CAS Blog to see all of the wonderful inspiration from the Design Team girls, and join us in the ATCAS Birthday Celebration! Have a great weekend,
