Happy Tuesday. 

The card starts with a Gorgeous Grape card base.  I believe this is the first time using this color card stock for a card.  I have used Highland Heather many times and they go well together. A panel from the How Sweet It Is DSP is run through the Big Shot using one of the dies from the  Doily  Builder Framelits Dies.  It is adhered to the Coastal Cabana mat using Liquid Glue.

Inspiration for my card layout comes from the MTF Sketch Challenge for the week.

  The candy jar and the lollipop are fussy cut from another panel of How Sweet It Is DSP.  The candy jar is popped in the Coastal Cabana space.  The stick for the lollipop is cut in two pieces so that it will look as if the lollipop is sticking all the way behind the candy jar.  A tiny bow is made from a short length of Whisper White Twine and tied around the lollipop stick just below the lollipop.  Tiny gummy bears are fussy cut and scattered around the candy jar.  After all items have been adhered to the focal panel, it is popped onto the card base using Mini Stampin Dimensionals.   Since I did not have a Happy Birthday stamp that was a single line, I used the stamp from the Better Together stamp set and did a bit of masking so it would only stamp one word at a time.  It was stamped on a strip of Whisper White card stock in Lovely Lipstick and matted on a strip of Coastal Cabana card stock.  This was then popped onto the card base at the bottom of the card, leaving a blank space between the greeting and the focal panel, so I added a few Coastal Cabana stars and I am just now realized that must be a retired item, so you can use any of the Basic Jewel elements to fill in this space or maybe a length of ribbon.  The card front is now finished.

The inside sentiment is stamped on a panel of Whisper White in Coastal Cabana Ink and matted on a panel of Coastal Cabana card stock.  A candy jar from a panel of the How Sweet It Is DSP is fussy cut and adhered to the panel using Liquid Glue.

I hope you liked my card for the day and that you found encouragement and inspiration for your own creation.
