#HB2U for CCMC310

It's Thursday and time for a new challenge from Create with Connie and Mary.  This week we have fun colors to work with, take a look.

Perfect colors for the 4th of July weekend!  I saw them and thought I'd do a fun birthday card, check it out.

I have been itching to use the Metro Type Alphabet again, so this card was designed around the sentiment.  I started out with a Real Red card base, then added a piece of Real Red embossed with the Large Polka Dot EF.

I wanted the card to have a banner theme, so I started with the sentiment.  I used a piece of Whisper White 1" x 4" and stamped "#HB2U".  I love that it's so easy to line up the photopolymer stamps, I got this right on the first try!  After it was done, I cut the banner end with the Hexagon punch and then trimmed the other side to fit properly on the card.

Next I did the cupcake.  I cut a Coastal Cabana starburst to put at the end of the banner.  I added in the cupcake from Cupcake Party, the icing is adhered with a dimensional to make it pop a little.

Last to be added was the small banner on the top of the card.  I used the banner punch and alternated Night of Navy with Coastal Cabana.  I added in stars from Something to Say, the red ones were punched and the navy ones were stamped directly on the banner.  I added a rhinestone between the banners and the card was complete!

This turned out to be a really fun birthday card!  I think I might have to make a 4th of July card from this same design :)
