Hey Everyone,
I'm feeling so wishy washy today! I have a million (ok, slight exaggeration ;P ) cards that I haven't shown off on the blog and I had the worst time choosing one. I finally settled on this birthday card I made using some stamps from DRS Designs.
I decided to use primary colors, my favorite for boy cards, and the sentiment from the most recent release, "You Light Up My Life". The background stamp I used is Starry Background and I stamped it in all 3 primary colors to create the patterned paper.
The center candle stamp is Birthday Candle Burst , but I left off the sentiment that comes with it, and substituted this one. And when I had the thought to add the real candle as embellishment, I was feeling oh so clever ;) It's just not a card one can send without a padded envelope.
Well, short and sweet for me. If you want to check out my embossed card, it's being shown off on the DRS Designs blog today!
Have a good one :)

I also love the primary colours for a boy card...I used them heaps when my boys were young...and for all the boy parties they went to. An absolutely beautiful design for a card.
