 I decided to use Cute Reindeer.

Happy Birthday

Hi there! How's your week going so far? 
                 Well the months are going by fast, aren't they??? 

Did you know, not only does Craft-Dee BowZ host a challenge, but they also post weekly inspiration projects each Tuesday?
Hope you will stop over at Craft-Dee BowZ and check out their inspiration posts. 



Since it's the 1st Tuesday of the month, it's my turn to share an inspiration project. 
The Craft-Dee BowZ challenge has already started and will be running until September 30

 . I've been working on Christmas cards for a while., (I am preparing for a show in Cincinnati in November.) so I decided to take a break from Christmas and work on a birthday card. 

 Let me share my inspiration piece 

and I hope it gives you some ideas to design a card or two.

 This is my version of a clean and simple card.
And this is about as CAS as I can get.

On a white panel, I stamped the image in the center and without reinking,
 I huffed onto the stamp and stamped the image again to the left of the original image. 
Next, I huffed one more time and stamped again to the right of the original image. 

I used a stamp with dots on it to add some additional interest.

I mounted the stamped panel on a raspberry panel. 

I made my bow and attached it to the corner of this panel. 

Next, I cut a larger panel and used an embossing folder to add texture and attached the stamped panel on top. 

Finally, I attached all these panels to the front of the card.

Here is a closer view of my bow.

I used a 1/2" sheer ribbon. 

I actually made a single loop bow and then stacked a smaller single loop bow 
on top of the first bow
I then attached the stacked single loop bows onto the corner of the stamped panel. 

The sponsor for the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge this month is Beccy's Place

The prize will be  1 digital set

Don't forget,
 the challenge theme is always 
Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow
