And to get you in the mood we have a special moodboard as the inspiration for this month!
Theme : Birthday - Turning "3"
Rules for the Challenge:
The projects must be all Birthday related and you must choose a minimum of 3 things from the moodboard as your inspiration. The moodboard can be interpreted in various ways but we are sharing a few examples below

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!
