Tape It, Lace It or Tie It with Team Lou at the Southern Girls

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

No stamps from me today.

I have used lots of gorgeous silver sparkling deco tape from X-Press It to make the background.  The tapes are 3mm, 6mm and 12mm wide and I spaced each strip 2mm apart.  I die cut the "happy" five times and layered the black over four white ones for dimension.  The birthday die comes with a backing layer and the white made the black word pop even more against the silver strips.

   

Although the card is quite CAS (Clean And Simple), I layered the "happy" several times for dimension, which I think works well with the black pearls.

I'm also sharing a second card this week.
It uses some lovely lace and you can read all about it HERE.
