CAS mix up card challenge for August

The new challenge at CAS Mix up Challenge is stenciling on patterned paper.

 I used the Serene Branches stencil from Gina K and stenciled over 6x6 paper called The Sorbet collection. Using Gina K inks jelly bean, fresh asparagus, dark sage, Kraft and warm cocoa. The sentiment is from Gina too and from a very old stamp called Wild at Heart. You need to be very careful when stenciling as you can get smudges. That is why I had to cut out the bottom of my third try. Lol

This was fun, come and join in.

STB #332-Aug.13th-Jenny Funny/Pun-y

The next challenge at Seize the birthday has a topping, but if you do not use it, make sure it is a Birthday theme. 

Hello Crafters and Birthday Card makers! This next Challenge is 

Make a Funny/Pun-ny card. 

Jenny is the host for this next challenge. 

This is my card. 

It all began with me looking through my basket of previously printed Ideas for cards.

I came across this one that I had but I don't remember where I got it from. (sorry)

I decided to go ahead and use it and I cut it out in a circle first and then using the Pink Fresh folk edge circle ,I cut a pink circle. I also went through some of my stack of 6 by 6 designer paper and decided to use this 4 Seasons Summer. I think it goes nicely with the margaritas. I placed all of this on a card base from Gina K Designs in Jelly Bean Green. Using My Favorite Things long stem bar wear and garnish dies, I cut out lots of Margarita glasses. At this point I wasn't sure how I was going to use them. Each Margarita has a garnish of a lime and a straw.  I colored the insert in green and used glossy accents. 

I hope you noticed that I put some crystal embossing on the top of each glass with 

glue and did not heat set it.

On the inside I used a strip of leftover design paper along with pink fresh fancy edges cut in Jelly bean green and yes one more Margarita glass for the happy birthday sentiment
