This is my third card for today using some of the Naturally Cool digital papers from Decosse Dynamite Doodles, one of our generous sponsors this week, to make a CAS A5 top folding masculine 21st birthday card.

I printed each of the blue shades of Naturally Cool blue papers on A4 white cardstock.
Starting with an A5 panel of white textured cardstock, I die cut the offset pinked circle window, then aligned the die with the lightest blue patterned paper, cutting it slightly to the left of the position of the white one, repeating for each colour until I hit the bottom solid, darkest panel.  I used liquid adhesive to secure all the layers in the pinked window in place.  It can up pretty thick, so I added foam adhesive around the edges & randomly around the panel to support it nice and flat.  Just to ensure the pinked window sat flat, I adhered some layers of cardstock until it was the same thickness as the foam.  I adhered the panel to an A5 top folding card base.
I used the darkest paper from the set to die cut the "happy birthday" sentiment.
I die cut the "21" five times from white cardstock, adhered
them together then secured them in the middle of the pinked circle.

I matted the inside of the card with layers of all the patterned papers,
leaving the top panel white for writing some cheery 21st birthday wishes.

   

These digital papers have a lovely pattern and texture, especially on textured cardstock.
