Today is a Birthday with The Card Concept!

Happy Hump Day, Everyone!

Welcome back to another Card Concept Challenge.  It has been wonderful to see how many of you are embracing this challenge and so fun to see all of the different styles!  Today it is all about birthdays~

For some reason, this challenge really stumped me.  Who can't make a birthday card??  But I did know I want to do some watercoloring, so I broke out a nbus that I picked up when visiting San Antonio last summer.

Now you are probably asking yourself about style.  I am still designing in the Elegant and Classy Style defined as~

• polished
• shiny finish
• sparkling embellishments
• rich colour scheme
• sophisticated sentiments
• regal
• sweeping
• dramatic
• monochromatic
• layered textures
• awe
• impress

I have shiny and sparkly elements, namely, gold cardstock, gold embossing powder and glue glitter.  The colors are very rich.  The sentiment is traditional and a sophisticated font and texture is provided with the watercolor paper in contrast to the smoothness of the vellum. I did not go overboard on embellies as I wanted the focus to remain on the watercoloring.  As for the regal, sweeping, dramatic, awe and impress elements, I will leave that to you to decide!  And remember, your card does not need to have all of the elements of a particular style. 
You can find all of the amazing Design Team inspiration on The Card Concept Blog.  Now it is your turn!  What style will you create in? 

I am linking this card up to the Seize the Birthday Sketch Challenge. The sketch is a loose interpretation of Chupa's sketch at Sketchbook Saturday.

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week!
