A Birthday Flourish!
Welcome to the newest week, my friends!
Have you ever wished you had developed a “stash” of ready cards … something from which you can quickly grab a card “right now”, and mail it out “today”, so to speak? It happens …
C’mon … you know that it does. Alas, I know it as well … … from experience. ***blush***
Well, with this week’s FS188 Challenge, I found a new “stash” card for my box! Yaaaahoooooooooooo!!
So many times, the cards of many design team members are mailed to the company involved, or may be submitted for publication. But in this case …. I’ve made additional ‘copies’ of sort for my personal ‘go-to’ or ‘stash’ box. Yaaaaay! Maybe you’ll think about doing something similar as well. 😉

The various forms of bling include tiny rhinestones or glitter glue or other alternative bits of bling. An additional alternative would be paper-piercing these “dots”. It all depends upon what is available at the time for your creativity. Two of my cards feature Stickles.
The inside view is shown to the right …. basically just a simplified version of the front, a.k.a. easy-peasy! 😉
