Hello again! It’s time for another challenge at Cards in Envy. For the next two weeks, we have a super easy theme for you to follow: Happy Birthday to You. That’s right – all you need to do for this challenge is to make an A2 sized birthday card (4.25″ x 5.5″) with no lumpy, bumpy embellishments so that it could be mailed at the standard postage rate.
I’ve gone with a fairly simply design that could be used for pretty much anyone of any age, although the color scheme does lean a bit toward the masculine side. This platypus image always makes me smile. The birthday hat was stamped on a scrap piece of cardstock. I colored in the polka dots, cut out the hat and glued it into place, and drew in the frills on top.
If you need additional inspiration, please go check out the Cards in Envy site and see what the rest of the design team has made. Then create a birthday card following our challenge guidelines and share it with us on the Cards in Envy site. We’d love to have you play along with us! Thanks for stopping by today.
