50th Birthday Cascade

This is my first attempt at creating a cascading card.  I made it for my husband's 50th birthday.  I kept the colors simple....yet now when I look at it... it may seems a bit plain. BUT!  My husband adored my card! =)

I created the "label" part in My Digital Studio (MDS), and printed it on Whisper White cardstock before using the Labels Collection Framelit.

Supplies Used:
MDS - Stamp Brush Set - Bunch of Backgrounds (weathered - Basic Gray at 50% opacity)
MDS - Font - Broach (Basic Black)

Paper - Whisper White, Night of Navy, Glimmer (Silver), Basic Black
Accessories - Simply Scored, scissors, Oval cutting system (Non-SU), Labels Collection Framelits, Big Shot, glue dots

Silhouetted Wings - SCCSC157

Okay, so I attempted again to create a card with the Stampin' Connection Card Sketch Challenge (SCCSC157).  I believe this time I've accomplished it! (For those that want to see my creation that was loosely created with this sketch -- See Here!

I struggled a bit to get the background stamp just right.  Using the Stamp-a-ma-jig helped tremendously! =)
