Bright Birthday Wishes

I don't know about you, but for me this week has flown by!  There has been lots of excitement going on since it's the first week of the Create with Connie and Mary Summer Collection 2014.  I hope you have subscribed, the projects so far are amazing!  And speaking of Create with Connie and Mary, today we have a new sketch for the Thursday Challenge.

Since my project for the first week of the Summer Collection 2014 features Age Awareness, I used that set for my card today.

Now you can see why I titled today's post "Bright Birthday Wishes"!  I went with very bold and bright colors based off of the new Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper.  The scallops on the side of the Tempting Turquoise is actually one of the Sweet Taffy designs.  It was the inspiration for the whole card!  I used paper snips to cut along the scallop edge and adhered it to the back of the polka dot paper.   The Melon Mambo banner is stamped with the swirly stamp from Age Awareness to make it stand out against the large polka dots.

Here's my list of supplies:

Stamps:  Age Awareness, Something to Say

Paper:  Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White

Ink:  Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise

Accessories:  Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.  Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, Banner Framelits, Decorative Label Punch, Rhinestone Gems
