Card of the Day
It's time to switch gears and go back to making cards. I need to have some birthday cards to have on hand for this new year, so here is the beginning. There are several more to follow.

happy [belated] birthday
No one likes to be late to the party, but I say that it lengthens the celebration.
I started with a small piece of Bristol paper, and using a make-up brush, I blended some Distress Inks. Then, I stamped the silhouette (Inkadinkado) in Versafine Onyx. After that, I placed the panel on a black mat and adhered that to the bright yellow A2 card blank. Finally, I added the sentiment (A Muse Art Stamps) which was also inked in Versafine Onyx.

Happy Birthday 3
The theme for this card is Monochrome, which matches 3 challenges.
This card is pretty self-explanatory. I snipped the corners of the sentiment (Hero Arts) panel with special scissors that I've had for some time. The embellishment is a piece of corrugated paper cut into a circle, and I cut the small black circle with a die and my die-cutting machine. I made two slits and thread in some kraft-colored twine. I glued that down to the card front.

Happy Birthday 2
I used a stencil on this birthday card. It is a small stencil by Tim Holtz and consists of small "x"s.
Here's how I made it:
First, I chose an A2-sized card blank in manila. Then, starting on the right, I used Distress Ink Tumbled Glass. After that, I changed to Picked Raspberry, and stenciled most of the body of the card. Then, on the left, I switched back to Tumbled Glass. Where the two colors overlap, it looks purple. Next, I stamped the cupcake image (Inkadinkado), cut it out and adhered it to the card front. Finally, I added Scattered Straw Stickles to the flame area of the candle and let it dry.

Celebrate: Happy Birthday
I love using patterned paper, and this one is gorgeous. I used both sides in order to get the yellow just right.
I used dark gray as the accent color, making a border for the whole card and being the border behind the two sentiments (Stampin' Up!) as well as the leaves (Spellbinders: Aren't You Sweet). It's kind of hard to tell, but the leaves are embossed to show the veins.
