CASology’s challenge this week is the cue word washi. Okay, I have loads of washi tape. I decided to challenge myself to use the Sale-a-bration glimmer tape in silver or gold which so far have been left untouched. I decided that the It’s My Party washi would be a good match for that.

Here’s the banner that inspired this card:

So I cut a piece to cover my whisper white layer and laid down the melon mambo washi. Then I added the silver glimmer tape below it. I confess I wondered if it was a bit TOO loud – what do you think? I figured that some people (I’m looking at you, Rebecca) would love the glitter and pressed forward. I planned to add the birthday cake from Endless Birthday Wishes since that was out for the sentiment, but it was too small. I’d just completed a card with Grateful Bunch so I tried that instead. Perfect. I stamped a number of flowers using that and melon mambo ink and punched them out. I glued the flowers on, popping up the largest with dimensionals and then added some clear Wink of Stella to the centres of the flowers.

I’m happy that the “celebrate” from Endless Birthday Wishes still works. It’s had a lot of use! Of course it’s another birthday card that isn’t going to work for a male. Oops.

See you tomorrow,
