CFC55: Hope your birthday is outta sight!

Happy Friday!  I can't believe it's already June!  Crazy!!!  And today is my parents' anniversary.  I s'pose I should get on that, card wise... but first, I'm back with a new CAS-ual Fridays challenge.  And since it's the first challenge of the month, that means it's a Guest Designer Challenge!  And this challenge is open to so many possibilities:
Create a Clean & Simple card using bling - rhinestones, glitter, even stickles.

This challenge is sponsored by the fabulous Simon Says Stamp!

I love that eye charts and eyeglasses are popular right now - they're so fun!  I got the Maya Road Eye Chart Sentiments stamp set recently, and couldn't wait to use it!  And I thought it would look great paired with the glasses from the Paper Smooches Get Outta Town set.  I stamped the glasses onto a star die-cut, then blinged them out with red rhinestones.  Okay, are you ready for the paper yummies?  Here ya go:

I scored the edges of my white cardstock with a scoring board, then added a computer-generated sentiment (printed on a chevron patterned paper from the Echo Park Sweet Day 6x6 pad).  Here's a close-up of my blingy specs:

So are you ready to play along with this week's challenge?  You can add as little or as much bling as you want - just keep the card clean and simple.  You have until next Thursday, June 7 at noon EST to link up your card.  We'd love to have you!

  1. The scene you created is fantastic! It's often difficult to combine sets but you did it so well. The bling on your glasses is a great detail.
