A Kept Life: Rainbow Birthday

Today I'm playing along at AAA Birthday Challenge where they're looking for birthday cards with stripes and / or dots.

I love stripes especially when they're in rainbow colors! And bright rainbow colors are perfect for BIRTHDAYS so yes! I'm in!

I created a rainbow stripe background using the Waffle Flower Diagonal Stripes die. I save all my paper scraps and they came in handy on this card. You could also cut a sheet of each color and mix them up for a whole bunch of cards.

I adhered a white skinny strip cut with the Twine and Bows die along the seam between each color. A tip that makes this much easier is to add double sided adhesive to your cardstock before you cut the skinny strips so you can just stick them in place vs. trying to glue them and making a mess.

I topped the panel with a glittery Oversized Happy die cut from glitter and white. I added a little subsentiment "birthday" to complete my message.

The finishing touch was to add some bows to the little strings to make this card look like a present!

I hope you're smiling! Have a great day!
