Card of the Day - Sweet Soiree Belated Birthday

 Hello and welcome back! I've gotten behind again this month so I needed these to catch up!

This is a pretty simple design but I wanted to take advantage of the many colors in the Designer Series Paper, so I made it in two different colorways. 

I pulled out an old Versamarker from my stash to make the silver embossed strip in the center. I was surprised that it still worked!

I originally planned to just trim out the rectangles but then decided to use my Stitched Rectangles Dies instead. I don't think I'll ever give those up!

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at Fab Friday.

Well, now I have to start signing and addressing these cards and more. I think I'm going to have about 25 cards going out this week!

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!
