September 5, by Ellen



Using three of CTMH's hot new colors in their Exclusive Inks (Thistle, Glacier, and Canary), Ellen stamped the image all the way around the border of an A2 (4.25" x 5.5") White Daisy Card.

"I was a bit surprised that this was harder than it looks -- lining it up just so and turning the stamp," Ellen said. "I think I stamped this five or so times before I was semi-happy with it, and now I notice that I'd rather have the stamps on the left facing inward."

"Also, I was hoping my order for Confetti Wishes Complements was in (but I ordered late!), so I cut a cake (far right) from its paper for this embellishment. 
I cut the "Happy Birthday" sentiment using Confetti Wishes paper on my Cricut, using the Artiste exclusive CTMH cartridge."
