TGIF! Lately, I’ve been super into really simple cards… ones that are easy to put together and without much effort. This is definitely one of them, with endless possibilities. 
Before I started, I actually went online and googled color combinations. I am terrible with picking colors that go well together so this is an easy way of picking colors I want to use for my cards, allowing me to step outside the box. For this card, I went with a mustard yellow, a light orange, and a light green. Once I picked out my colors, I pulled out the four different sizes of circles in the Basic Shapes stamp set. Then I got to stamping. I just alternated sizes and colors and stamped in an arch around the left side of the card panel. 
For my sentiment, I pulled out the Solid Sayings for the “Happy Birthday”. Since I created an arch of the circle pattern, I didn’t want to stamp in my white space so I masked each half of the sentiment and stacked them.
I have a bad habit of hoarding my craft supplies, including paper scraps but they come in handy. I was able to find a piece that actually matched perfectly with my color combination. I trimmed my panel down so I could mat the left hand side of the panel and added a thin strip of black so I could pull in the black stamped sentiment, making the card cohesive. 
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you’re inspired to create. Happy Crafting!
