I hope this picture is ok for you all. I had to lighten it up a little because of bad lighting when I took the picture. This card is pretty simple, but I like it. The red and teal background is made using We R Memory Keepers washi tape. I just alternated between the two colors. Then I made the star with an oldy but goody- George and Basic Shapes- with three different sizes of stars cut.
I cut the strip of paper at the bottom by hand, and then stamped in teal ink using My Craft Spot's "Birthday Wishes" stamp set. To finish it off, I used three blue skittles in the top corner. Do you know how cool skittles are? I got them from Carri at Double Click Connections. To start off with I just bought 6 colors because I wanted to give them a try, but I will be back for more!
This card will be entered into the following challenges:
Little Scrap Pieces- Happy Birthday
Pile it On- Decorative Tape
Simon Says Stamp and Show- Seeing Stars
My Craft Spot- Wish Big
