Inspired by Blog Challenges - Muse #49

What can I say?  I might be a blog challenge addict now... cuz the crafty mojo and inspiration I get from them is exhilarating!! =P

I kept going back and forth with the Muse #49 challenge (above) for the week and as I flipped through the Artiste Cricut Cartridge image book, it clicked.  I wanted something a bit different than the traditional sun and the image (pg 79 Accent 3) fit what I was looking for:

Thinking of a simple but bright and fun color palette, I pulled out a Dream Pop B&T paper {retired 2013 promo paper} to cut my "sun" out on the Cricut.  For contrast, I used the Lagoon Washi Tape and as a softer tone for sunlight and brightness, I used the Honey Triangles Washi Tape (backed with White Daisy cardstock to make it pop more) for the runners. Same colors stamped for the Happy Birthday sentiment, raised with 3D tape.  To finish the card, I added some bling from the Sparkles Assortment.

I am also tying this card to another blog challenge, one that a fellow CTMH consultant, Pamela O'Connor, is a design team member for - Fantabulous Circut Challenge #192.

Hope you like my card as much as I do!! Thanks for stopping by.
