Framed & Striped Birthday - Stampin' Up! Party Puffins

   I'm playing along with 2 challenges with this card.  I've got lots and lots of stripes for Seize the Birthday and then I've also got a frame for the Just Add Ink challenge

   I pulled out a striped sheet of Pattern Play host DSP and cut it into narrow strips of various lengths and layered them on a piece of Basic White embossed with the Subtle embossing folder.

  I cut a frame with the Stitched Rectangle dies and popped it on dimensionals and then added the other elements.  I used Party Puffins for the puffin and sentiment and Penguin Place for the balloon.

  Some Coastal Cabana enamel dots are the last detail.  Now that I'm looking more at this card I wish I would have changed out the frame color to something other than white.  I just might have to re-do this one another time and see!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
