BRAK

What is a BRAK you may ask? It stands for Birthday Random Act of Kindness. Stampers just seem to love sending people stuff for no reason, and I am definitely included in that statement. Hence, the acronym RAK. Well, when someone has a Birthday, you can do the same thing, send someone you perhaps don't know, or don't know well, a birthday card. This card is for a certain someone who's on SplitCoastStampers, that is a really great girl and an inspirational stamper. I hope she likes it. I had a lot of fun making it. The Sell-A-Bration set I used was Very Punny (for the bird) and it was the stamp set I thought I would like the least out of SAB, but I find I'm using it the most! The paper I used is the Winter Mini Designer Series paper called "Loves Me" and I love IT!!! Anyway, for a little contrast between the pink polka-dotted sheet of paper and the card base, I did some light sponging around the edges of the DS paper. On that DS paper, I used the sentiment from Love Ya Bunches to say "happy bird-day to you!" I got that set when SU! offered it for 1/2 off recently. I used my Giga Scalloped Circle Punch made by Marvy Uchida for the Taken with Teal layer. For the DS paper circle, I used my Mega Circle Punch, also made by Marvy. I used SU!'s two largest circle punches (1 3/8" and 1 1/4") to make the layer for the stamped image and the Regal Rose layer behind it. I did some piercing on each scallop but decided not to outline the holes with my Signo Gel pen as I almost always do :) Thanks for looking, and I would love to hear what you think!
