Rounded Birthday

Sometimes the simplest design is the most appealing. I found the three designer series panels in the background to be quite pleasing to the eye. What do you think?

First, I cut three strips of Designer Series Paper and kept them in order. This is entirely up to you. I think they will be fine if they are random leftover pieces as well.

I then adhered each strip of DSP onto a Petal Pink matte.

Next, I adhered the three strips onto the Melon Mambo card front. I adhered the top and bottom strips first, and then adhered the center strip.

I then stamped the Basic White panel with a rounded wheel, using Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink inks.
