Less is more!

Today I realized that I had some birthday cards to make and post all in the same day!! organized me - never you would think that I would have a stack of cards made for such occasions, well I have but when I sort through them there is nothing there suitable!!!!!!!   So with time not on my side I thought keep it simple which will be quick as all I need is a colour combo and I'm off - ooooooooh no not today mojo has deserted me mind blank - so off I go to blog challenge land to get some inspiration and I found it at Less is More where the challenge this week is a sketch using a DL card.

My card was created using cuttlebug embossing folder and Stampin' Up! products.  Main card is crumb cake
which I ran through the embossing folder, I then cut a strip of baja Breeze and added Marina Mist Ribbon  before attaching to card, next I stamped image onto whisper white card, I wanted a layered look so I punched out the centre with the image on which left the stamped scallop image which I then  punched out with the scallop circle, then a second scallop  from Baja Breeze card, then added the previous punched out scallop to this one and added circle with design to this  on pads.  Lastly I added Happy Birthday to the bottom of the card in Baja Breeze - photo not really showing this very well
Phew takes longer to explain than it did to make lol, I really enjoyed making this card with its simple but effective design, time ran out on me but I intend to make some more and add them to my stock of cards it really was a quick one to make. I made 2 and they are now wizzing through the post - I hope!
Stamp Sets used Stampin' Up! Punch Bunch, So happy for you.

bye for now
