Welcome - Thank you for visiting
I wanted a 'no fuss' style of birthday card recently, and I was inspired by this card by blogger Maureen Merrit, and here is my CASE. It was the layout that attracted me.

I started with the patterned paper - a scrap of an Amy Tangerine design, then matched the blue in the design for the base.

I was not entirely happy with the basic card, but did not want to detract from the design, so I stamped using bubble wrap and Versamark ink and embossed the results with clear embossing powder. This definitely added the interest I wanted, without detracting from the paper.

I was then at a loss as to how and where to add the sentiment, and came up with this diecut from the Lacy Circle set of dies, which was sponged to echo the dots on the card base.

I was quite happy with the results.

Oh Maxine ,this is a beauty! I really like your take on the card (I saw that, too, and kept it for my future CASE's, LOL!) Gorgeous palette and as always, love your little embossing - that's really your signature on your lovely cards!
Blessings!
What a great card- love your colors and the bubble wrap embossing is fab! The layout is so cool- I can see this done in many colors and DP's too! I love seeing all of the new techniques you are trying : )
I love how this turned out, Maxine! The clear embossed bubble wrap is perfect. I may have to give that a try!
Fabulous Maxine. The bubble wrapped embossing really adds to the card with out distracting. Great design.

A great card Maxine, which I must admit, I prefer to the original - because of the colour combo I think. You've made good use of the bubble wrap which gives just the right amount of interest without swamping the rest. Well done. Kate x
