CCC #13

This week at Cricut Cardz Challenge we are making a tall card using any cartridge, color and theme. I've made a birthday card for my DH. Poor guy--having to celebrate his birthday while recuperating from his surgery. Gee, now that I think about it, that's exactly how I spent my birthday last year, recovering from breast cancer surgery. It's been a rough year, but somehow we'll make it through together. We haven't survived 37 years of marriage without other hardships. My card idea started with my paper from Creative Imaginations. Those party hats on the paper made me think of the party hats on the Celebration cartridge.

I cut two party hats at 1 3/4" using this very colorful paper. Just cutting from different areas of the paper gave me two totally different color hats. I bordered the left side of the card front with a red patterned piece, a Fiskars border punch and then a strip with the party hats in a row. I used pompoms to embellish the tops of my hats. I used my favorite Sakura 3-D Glaze pens for doodling.

My sentiment is a digi stamp from The Cutting Cafe. I placed it atop a blue section of the party paper and tied a bit of black ribbon around it at the bottom.

My inside sentiment is from a set of clear stamps I recently bought with sayings all made by children. This set is made by Inkadinkado and has six sayings in it. I'll also enter this card in the Paperplay Challenge for a birthday card for someone special.
