Fireworks Birthday Card

by May Park-

Happy Saturday! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far. We’re having beautiful weather here in Marina del Rey. I enjoyed swimming at the pool under the sun. It felt like summer in the first week of March.

Today I’d like to share a one-layer card I created to enter in the CAS-ual Fridays #92 challenge. This week’s challenge is to use stamps to make a background on a CAS creation. I needed a celebration card to give someone, so I ended up with a fireworks greeting card.

For the focal point of the card which is fireworks, I stamped several images from the Funky Florals stamp set and the Everyday Sayings stamp set. Although they are originally floral stamps, they worked perfectly to create a fireworks image. What versatile stamps! Aren’t they?

FYI, this week’s cue card from CASology Week 33 is a circle, so I managed to make the focal image circular using a masking technique. I love the way my firework-themed card turned out. It’s so colorful and festive! I think this card also gives us a refreshing spring and summer delight. What do you think?

I hope you enjoyed my card, and you find a little bit of inspiration. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a great weekend!

    May, thanks for your sweet comment on my blog. This card is stunning. The end result looked simple (neat and crisp too) but I knew how much it took your time and creative energy to make this out. Keep my fingers crossed for you on your journey to the challenges.

    What a clever use of those floral stamps! Great choice of bright and cheerful colors, and I love how you clustered the images to make a focal point. Thanks for sharing this with us at CASE Study!

    Such a great focal point you created with the center of a flower! Interesting that it’s a flower stamp, that looks like a firework, but totally looks like a flower when you cluster it together tightly like that! My head is spinning : ) Thanks so much for joining the CASual Fridays Challenge!
