CAS22 Hoppy Birthday

This week's CAS challenge is CAS22 Hey, Hey, It's Your Birthday! I made this card yesterday as I was using every image in Green Thumb to check it off my New Year's Resolution List. (I resolved to use every image stamp I have...this is gonna take a while!) Imagine my surprise when I woke this morning and discovered I already had a card for it.



The only thing not self-evident about this card is how I put a narrow strip of old olive cardstock behind the cameo coral piece. The circles in the threading water punch are thus olive...like the olive gem in the center of the flower. It's a nice little detail that kicks the card up a notch, don't you think?



Supplies
cardstock: PTI vintage cream, SU cameo coral, old olive
stamps: PTI Green Thumb
ink: Versamagic
accessories: threading water punch, dimensionals, Hero Arts Olive gem

  2. I know I already said this when I commented on your card in the SCS gallery, but I love the grasshopper on the flower stem. Its such an unexpected element which makes it so fun. Such a pretty card.

  3. I like the olive behind the coral, it looks really great! That's a great way to add some color without it being too much. I'm going to try to remember that!
