When I made my card for CAS Colours & Sketches last week and decided that I was going to use a piece of Festive Birthday DSP to cut out a word, I of course, cut out numerous words. This card is using one of the spares.

The word is from the Mini Treat bag thinlits dies and after starting with that, I decided to add the birthday cake in melon mambo from the Endless Birthday Wishes set. I was planning another very CAS card with loads of white space but it just didn’t “fit” so I cut down the panel and picked emerald green as a feature colour and made a little mat. I was still going to stay very CAS with a nice wide white border but after adding the enamel star in emerald envy for the dot over the J, I went star crazy and looked through my stamp sets for an appropriate one. I found a cluster of three stars in Stars of Light appropriately enough and made a border with it and more melon mambo. I think it makes a very celebratory card.
