I'm also sharing my DT card with the Anything Goes challenge at Seize the Birthday and the Birthday challenge at Addicted to Stamps.
To create my card, I used a really amazing layering stencil from Taylored Expressions that results in three separate mini-slimline cards and was super easy to use!
The stenciling starts on a 5.75" x 9.75" panel of cardstock, and after you apply each layer, you cut the panel at 3.25" and 6.25" to end up with three card fronts with different floral designs. I just think it's a brilliant design, especially if you need to make multiples. I ended up trimming this stenciled panel down in size so I could mat it on black before adhering to the card front which ended up being 6"x 3.5".
I chose this design so I could add the birthday greeting in the center. The Happy Birthday was already stamped and die cut, so that left die cutting the number 2, exclamation point and letter U from black cardstock three times to layer them up for dimension. Once everything was adhered to the card, I used a shimmer pen to add sparkle, then covered the 2U! with Glossy Accents.
Here's a look at the other panels, which I'm saving for future use.
Thanks for taking time to stop by, I appreciate it! Please be sure to use the link above to see all the beautiful cards by the other DT members and hopefully join us this month.
Come back by on the 15th when I'll have my Flower Challenge reminder card to share.
Take care!

Popping in to say that I love the layering effect with the stencils and WOW to your choice of vibrant colours. A real stunner x.
I saw this pretty card over at TFC and had to come by for a close-up, delighted to see you linked up at Seize the Birthday too. The panels are gorgeous and love how you incorporated your number into your design! Love the mix of lights and darks as well. Thanks for playing along and your inspiration this morning!
