Hello and Happy Thursday! There are two new blog challenges out this week that I used to create this fun birthday card. The color combination is from the new Color Hues challenge - TCH #58: Lime Green & Cyan - and I decided to use that color palette (new In Colors Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide) along with the new card sketch at Freshly Made Sketches - FMS573. I just got this Taco Fiesta stamp set recently and it is SO fun!
I entered my card here at the Color Hues challenge blog
And here at the Freshly Made Sketches challenge blog
Here is another view of my card. I really like how the striped panel turned out - simple, but effective. I was able to follow the sketch pretty closely, don't you think? And how about this color combination, so fun right?!

Here is a close-up of the striped panel I created with card stock scraps. I glued them down on a piece of basic white card stock cut to 5" x 2-1/4". The little guacamole image was fussy cut and colored with stampin' blends, then popped up on the sentiment with dimensionals.
For the inside panel, I added a strip from the striped panel that I created for the front of the card and added that super cute avocado image in the left corner. I colored it with my stampin' blends and added the happy birthday sentiment from the Biggest Wish stamp set to complete it.
Here is one more view of my card. Thanks for visiting and Happy stamping!

This is a bright and fun card! I especially like how you carried over your color block strip to the inside of your card, Debbie!

I love your stripe behind your little bowl of guacamole! It's so fun that the theme carried to the inside with the avocado! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

You had me at Guac. LOL! This is so bold and fun and I love how you carried the design to the inside. Thanks so much for playing with us at the Color Hues challenge!
