In addition to choosing 3 things from the moodboard, we have a number '3' in our moodboard, so either you may interpret it as the number itself as its our 3rd Birthday or use 3 of something, like sequins, 3 pattern papers, or 3 flowers etc

Please feel free to interpret it your way but do ensure you mention the 3 items you have chosen and how the interpretation has been used unless its very obvious!

So what you waiting for, jump right into the celebrations with us 

For this post, I have taken the inspiration from the mood-board in the form of the lovely hot pink and gold color. I have also interpreted the number 3 by using three different colored leaves (colors inspired from the yummy macaroons) as the main focal point of the card I have created.

So here’s a quick tutorial on how this card was created:

I started out with an 8.5”x 5.5” card stock which was scored at 2 1/8”, 6 3/8”. I used some hot pink card stock to create the background. Once I had my background ready, I just sponged some Versamark ink with some stencils and used some gold perfect pearls to get the soft look. For the main focal point, I fussy cut some leaves which I stamped using distress inks. Since the 3 was the lucky number, I used 3 leaves to pin on the card, with a brad, and spread the leaves around. The main sentiment ‘Happy’ was die cut multiple times and adhered together to give some dimension. Lastly, I stamped birthday on a piece of cardstock, trimmed it and foam adhered it to the card!

So, I hope you all enjoyed the easy breezy card which you can create in a jiffy!

Stay tuned for more inspiration!
