Wow, September has been BUSY!!!  I haven't had a post for almost 2 weeks.

This week I've been working on some more digital designs.  I thought I should do some funny cards for something different.  I used the Bugaboo Digital Stamp Stella One More Candle for the image.  I made up my own sentiment - hehe. 

Here's what I came up with.....


 Inside Reads....



I wanted to keep this very CAS so it can be easily reproduced for those times when I just need a quick card.  I colored the image using GIMP and then used MS Word to import the picture and add the sentiment.  I cut it out and mounted it on black cardstock.

I think it still needs something more, but I can't decide what I should add to it.  One thought I had is I could add some paper piercing to create a border.  Or, I could add glossy accents to the candles.  I'd love suggestions from my crafty friends.  What would you do?

I decided to try taking my photo on my window sill the way my super talented friend Wida does for her cards.  I've been having so much trouble with lighting in my photo tent lately and the lighting on this was perfect.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my CAS Digital Card.

Ha, love this, Julie! I think if it was me, I'd add stickles to the candle flames and glossy accents to her glasses. Maybe even something dimensional on the icing ...

Julie, I really think you have all that is needed. If I wanted a bit more, I think I would just add about 3 rhinestones/gemstones to the center underneath the sentiment. But, that may be too much. I like it as is.
This is a really cute card...good job going digital.

Oh, I meant to say I love your fun sentiment.
