Birthday Fun With Gallery Idol

I thought I'd ease back into blog land since I've missed out on so much.  Then I saw that the Gallery Idol Challenge has begun, and I couldn't resist!  I loved watching the talented ladies last year, and really learned so much.  So I worked on a couple of entries:


I cut the candy dish in both papers with my Silhouette, combined them, and then put acetate on the back.  The front panel is raised to let the "candy" show through.  I punched out 1/2" circles from the same paper pad and added Glossy Accents and loose glitter.  Looking now at the Idol gallery, I see the PS sentiments are very popular so I won't be getting marks for originality there, oh well, who can resist those PS stamps?


I'll be back with the other card I made today for the the challenge in a little bit.  Until then, thanks for coming over!

Have a great day,
Kara Lynne

    This is so, stinkin' fun, Kara Lynne! LOVE the touch of glitter and your mix of patterns, and your sentiment is perfect! Everybody loves Paper Smooches. Matter of fact, I just got a couple of new sets, in the mail, this afternoon ;). Hugs!
