Just a slight break in Christmas card production today,
for a bright and cheerful birthday card.
My inspiration came from a fabulous Laura Fedora project video,
that you can see at the Simon Says Stamp Blog
I started by covering a card panel with distress inks and some water splashes.
On another panel, I die cut my 'Happy Birthday to You' a few times.
The top and bottom of the panel just had small pieces of the letters visible, so I decided to cut these off, and actually, it allows the distress ink to show through nicely.
I used tiny pieces of foam tape to pop this up onto the distress ink background,
and then tucked in a few random sequins.
I finished by adding my Yeti, and a little, labeled message.

I recognized the Laura Fadora CASE immediately. What a great card hers was and yours is perfect too!
Very cute Yeti, Caroline! Thanks for joining us at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.
Hi Caroline, what a bright and happy birthday card. Of course you have to stop to make a birthday card. Christmas comes but once a year. Birthdays happen ALL the time. Great background showing through those negative die-cuts. The Distress inks are so wonderfully vivid. I love that you cut your "Happy Birthday to You" at an angle. Very effective. And, of course, that adorable little Yeti--what can I say? Beautifully coloured and adorable. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
A very fun card! Love the bright, colourful background peeking through the die-cuts. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
Aw....very cute! Love the cut out letters! Thanks for linking up to our challenge this week at Watercooler Wednesday!
Caroline this is "Yeti" another great card. Love your background colour mashup, and the die cut lettering. So cute. The Yeti is coloured so well. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
