Just Us Girls Color Challenge #55 Happy Birthday

Hello There~

I am participating in a new challenge

(for me),  over at Just Us Girls 

but when I saw this elegant

color combo I wanted to participate.

It's black, cream, and kraft.

How can you go wrong with such

elegance I ask?

I have been hoarding this paper for months, but

I decided to finally use it! I just LURVE it!

It's by Jillibean Soup called Black Macaroni. 

I now wish I would have bought more!

We are so limited in Hawaii with supplies.

I thought an elegant card called for 

an elegant stamp, so I used my

DeNami Solid Decorative Crest.

I added some black Rhinestones to the Crest.

I created a ruffled ribbon at the bottom

of course adding rhinestones for 

a nice finishing touch!

I stamped a running Happy Birthday border across my

card panel and popped my crest up with foam mounting tape.

Thanks for taking a peek today!

Warm aloha!

Edited Note: Many have asked how to make

this ruffled ribbon. I learned this technique a

long time ago using sticy strip and "scrunch" style

but I am going to share a link with you that

Paulina, at DeNami Designs, shared with me

that is much easier. Please check it out here!

Nami makes it look so easy.
