It's Christina's Birthday! ~ CTS#53; NBUS#71; PSP#98; STB

Happy Funday!

This is my third post in a row dedicated to a hop!!  I'm beginning to feel like Mrs. Peter Cottontail, how about you?!  But how fun it has been!  I have been inspired and then inspired some more!!

Today's special hop is dedicated to the birthday of bloggie friend, Christina. Happy Birthday, Christina, and many more!!  Christina is a phenomenal card artist whose blog is SeaGlass Papercrafts.  If you are not already familiar with her wonderful card art, you are in for a real treat when you go to visit and wish her blessings on her birthday!

For my inspiration, I used this very pretty card made by Christina on September 15th:

And this sketch designed by the sensational Chrissy Larson at the current CAS(E) This Sketch challenge:

Here is my card:

It's pretty straightforward.  I wanted to use more of that yummy patterned paper I used in yesterday's post for the Inspiration Crew hop.  The right corner wood-grain angle was achieved by using strips of Washi tape.  That tape is NBUS, as is the sediment.  I got a little graphical on my angles by laying on the little brown snippet of paper and liking it.  It wasn't even inventional.  Can you see the fussy-cut maple leaf under the button?  I cut it from the pattern on the other side of the paper.

I've used snippets on my card, so that means I can also play over at the fun Pixie's Snippets Playground!  And since it's a birthday card, especially a birthday card with texture, I can also enter the current Seize the Birthday challenge!  High fives all around!
