This is my card for this weekÂ’s CC460. Becky is our hostess and she has chosen some rich tones with rich razzleberry, island indigo and night of navy. Our dessert this week is splatters.
I started with my card layout, which is this weekÂ’s MojoMonday 327 sketch. I decided to use the island indigo as my main color to create more of a masculine card. My brotherÂ’s birthday is coming up next week.
The bg dsp is from SU’s “venetian romance” collection. I thought this pattern looked the dessert option Becky is asking for. The long rectangle layer is more SU dsp “world spectacular” collection. I added a border die to this panel with Verve’s scallop trio” die.
On the image panel, I used the SU set “gorgeous grunge” to add some bg splatters in rich razzleberry. The balloons are from the party this way set. I stamped in night of navy and cut the balloon streamers from navy cardstock.
Punched a few rich razzleberry hearts from a spellbinders die to complete my card. Hope you can play along with us this week. You may be our next color challenge favorite.
We have a new board on Pinterest where we are posting our samples plus the CC fave of the week. Check it out here.
This is one of the most interesting happy b day cards I have seen. Love your touches of splatter. So well done.

Very cool Mary. I have that Venetian Romance DP and I love that particular pattern. Just haven't used it yet. Will have to check out Pintrest more often now.
