Happy Birthday 2 You

CASology - Number

This card has lots of white space although it's in bright yellow. 

I'm thrilled to be the guest designer for the CASology challenge this week with the cue word "number".  For this challenge I chose to make a colorful card.  I played with some new distress inks in jewel colors and applied using a stencil, stamped and embossed the sentiment over the inking, and added three gems in three of the colors just for some subtle bling.  For a little interest, I chose to offset the stamped image.
