November is a popular month for birthdays in this community! Today it's Chriss' birthday! She is a fellow Canadian (living in the US) and we've become even better friends since she joined me on the Muse: ChristmasVisions team earlier this year.
I love to CASE cards and a birthday is a perfect occasion to explore a friend's blog and remind yourself of all the cards you loved! I chose this card that Chriss made last month and used it as my inspiration:
I started with a 4x4 white panel and cut an MFT pierced circle frame out of it. I sponged it in warm, autumn colours and inlaid it (and the centre white circle) back into the panel before cutting the PTI "celebrate" out of it. I also cut a brown celebrate and inlaid that into the panel as well. I used the star dies from MFT's Blue Prints #25 in copper mirror card for embellishment.
As usual (especially with birthdays at the beginning of the month), this card is in the mail and will likely not land until a day or two after Chriss' birthday, but hey, it's good to keep celebrating, right?
Happy Birthday Chriss - I hope you have a wonderful day surrounded by friends, family and love!
What a great card Ardyth - love how you have taken a card of Chris's and CASED it to make a card for her, with amazing results.

Great CASE of Chriss' card! Love the colors of this, and the inlaid dies. And those coppery stars are just the perfect accent to this sweet design. It's really a fun card, and I know she'll enjoy it! Have a great warm, and sunny Thursday! Bev
