Berry Birthday Bling

I made this card for Lauren's one layer card/keep it in the corner challenge. It's so hard to keep it simple, but I think I was able to do that here. This is a quick and easy design and it would be easy to make a few of these to keep on hand.

I used stamp sets and coordinating paper and inks from Papertrey Ink. The gift image is from It's a Celebration. I embellished it with some different sized "bling" to match the dots on the image. This gave the card a little dimension without adding any layers. To go along with the circles on the gift image, I added a row of paper piercing along the bottom of the card. After I finished all the stamping and the bling-ing, I realized that I had stamped the gift image upside down--oh, well! Fortunately, it still works.

The sentiment is from the Birthday Basics set. I got this set because it has "happy birthday" in a variety of fonts, styles, and sizes. It also includes a bunch of nice blurbs for the insides of cards. I'm always looking for more of those! I know these two sets will see a lot of use.
