Simple Saturday Birthday

This is a one layer card that packs a punch.

I started with Stampin' Up's Note Card and Envelope in Whisper White. Then using Mememto Black Ink I stamped a border from the Draw the Line stamp set. Using the eraser from a pencil (note it had never been used) I dipped the eraser into my ink pad and then onto the card to add the splash of color. The colors I chose were Tempting Turquoise, Strawberry Slush, Crushed Curry and Wild Wasabi. I love how this turned out.

I cannot take credit for this idea. Rather I was inspired by Brian King and his amazing Halloween card which you can see here.

The Happy Birthday stamp is a random stamp I picked up in my travels. I loved the font. You cannot see from the photo that party hat is colored in with Strawberry Slush and Tempting Turquoise.

My intention was for this card to be a crisp single layer card. However, when I was done I noted three small specks of tempting turquoise ink. So I improvised and added three stars punched from Sliver Glimmer Paper using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. I think it added the perfect amount of bling.
