"NO" Stamps or Ink... Birthday card!

Happy Monday everyone! Another week closer to spring... Yes! :) Today's card I put together with scraps of cardstock left over on my craft table, DP from this card I posted recently, and I wanted to add sewn stitches around the edges and use my star punches. The shocker is "NO STAMPS or INK" used!

First thought was to make a card that could be used for both male and female. And for all ages! Also challenged myself to not use ribbon... that's hard for me! But, I DID IT!! :)

I started with using my CuttleBug embossing folder on Marigold Morning CS, punched 3 small stars out and added DP behind to show through the larger stars I added over the top! I also added more stars on my die cut "Happy Birthday" and topped the "i" off with a silver star! Then I kicked it up a notch with adding a Chocolate Chip arrow raised by dimensionals. I hope you enjoy this colorful card as I'm kinda on the edge about it. In person it looks nicer than the photo, but you can click on it to get a close-up look!

Thanks for the visit and comments my stamping friends!! Have a super day.... Smiles!! :)
