Paper Craft Crew Challenge #253
Today’s party time birthday card color choices were inspired by the Paper Craft Crew Challenge blog. I chose to use the Stampin’ UP versions of these colors: Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo, and Mint Macaron. To check out other cards on their blog for more inspiration, go to:

Washi Wonder
It was fun creating a lot of texture with this card. I used the Pinewood Planks embossing folder for the backdrop in whisper white. After cutting my large circle with the Stitched Shapes Framelits, I ran it through the Big Shot with the Oh My Stars embossing folder for even more texture.
Washi Tape is often overlooked in the catalog. It is actually a versatile element in the crafting arsenal. I used the Basics Pack 3 Washi Tape to create the whimsical banner behind the “50” element. I lined up the washi tape on a scrap of paper, trimmed it down and punched the ends in a banner with the Banner Triple punch. I also used it inside the card to add a punch of color. So simple!
What do you think? What is your favorite use for washi tape?
