Watercooler Wednesday Challenge #60

My March Paper Pumpkin kit came on Monday and when I saw it I knew it would be perfect for this week's Watercooler Wednesday challenge.  It was my turn to choose the challenge and, since my birthday is this month, I decided on a Clean And Simple (CAS) birthday challenge.

The stamp set in the Paper Pumpkin kit is a really cute one.  The card is one that is shown in the instructions but I changed it just a wee bit.  I used the Happy Happy and balloon stamps but set them up further in the white square so I could added the birthday sentiment from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set.  It was stamped using Bermuda Bay ink.  There was also a bow made from the baker's twine on the original and added just above the flags but I chose to attach them using my mini stapler.  To finish it off I added the colored pearls that were included in the kit.  The card base is Whisper White Thick.  Since it was to be a CAS, I didn't want to use the colored card base from the kit.  I really like the way this turned out.
