Our colors this week are Smoky Slate, Crushed Curry and Tempting Turquoise and desert = birthday:
On my card front I sponged ink through a grid stencil, and then die cut the top panel with a stitched die. Then made a frame for my focal image by cutting another smaller rectangle from the panel. Die cut the balloons, embossed the stars in silver, sponged the balloons and spritzed with shimmer mist for some sparkle, then mounted on frame with die cut strings. Die cut the happy, colored w/ markers, and then covered with glossy accents for a nice shine and more depth. Stamped the “birthday to you” on the frame, and mounted the frame on the card front with dimensionals - giving a great shadow box effect. To mount the happy I die cut several layers and glued together, but cut off the part that would be overlapping the frame and this made it level with the rest of the card. Added the enamel dots and done.

This is such a well designed card, Msura, I don't know now I missed it. It has such a bold, graphic look. You did a great job with this week's colors. Into my favs.
