I decided to combine my Monday challenges today and when I saw the Merry Monday challenge today was a Birthday Hop – I was SO excited! Of course, I went to Mojo Monday first thing at 5 AM East Coast Time…and fell in love with the sketch right away – I mean how could you not – the possibilities were endless! I was already thinking up all sorts of Christmas ideas…then quickly switched gears and made a fun bright CAS birthday card instead!
I love LeAnne Pugliese’s cards every time I see them on the Merry Monday Christmas Challenge Blog, so I decided she needed a Birthday card that was fun, sassy, and colorful with no less than my latest little addiction – sequins (thanks Deanne – I have you to blame for these).
I knew I wanted to use the Sassy Salutations birthday greeting and my mind immediately went to the bright pink Gerber Daisy. My sister-in-law Claudia had these at her wedding and I couldn’t stop taking photos of them, they were so editorial!
Now I know the middles are mostly yellow, but I left it black so that I didn’t bring another color in. It’s a fun little card, don’t you think? My favorite parts – the flower, belly band and of course, I’m a convert – the sequins! So LeAnne – this card is for you! I hope you have a FABULOUS birthday!
Hope you liked that! If you’re a TCG VIP Member – you’ll see a video of this project in the Project and Resource Video library. 
Have a great start to the week!

Gorgeous card! Those flowers were incredible–just what I’d want if I was getting married again–LOL!

This is awesome!!! Love the turned up edges of the flower and the embossed greeting on vellum – beautiful!
Thanks Susan – I love vellum, can’t stop reaching for it lately…lol! 🙂
Great Birthday Card Ingrid! I love the color combo you chose and love the vellum with the salutation on it. The added sequins are just delightful! I too have been playing with sequins and have found them addicting.
They are…can’t wait to see all the fun ones you sent me…literally CAN NOT WAIT! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by today Amy! 🙂
