It's a Clean and Simple Happy Birthday Masculine card for The Paper Players. LeAnne came up with this week's CAS Challenge and it's a fun one! Something I don't usually do so it was a good challenge for me.

Of course, I gave a lot of thought to what I was going to make today, but once I decided to go with Modern Medley Designer Series Paper, it was clear sailing right to the finish line.
I needed to keep this one Clean and Simple so the Basic Black and Very Vanilla color scheme worked well for me.
There's lots of clean space in this design, my sentiment font is crisp and bold, and my flagged banners are as simple as I could get while giving just the right amount of element balance. I think this one's all about the layers. There are lots of them, but that's by design!
Thanks for stopping by today and happy stampin' to you.

Beautiful, Deb! I love the layering and matting around all the pieces. Very clean!
Very striking card…that paper is perfect for the CAS look to your wonderful card! Thanks for sharing it with us for my Paper Players challenge this week!
Debbie, I love that you used this DSP for a masculine card. I’d never made that connection, but it really works especially with that fabulous bold sentiment. So glad you joined the Paper Players this week
