Monochrome Birthday Card

My daughter turned 16 last month. Gone are the days of pink and purple, of butterflies and flowers. Her favourite colour is black, and that's hard to incorporate in a birthday card.

I was browsing the Silhouette file one day when I saw a file with a column of interlinked offset circles. Nothing too difficult there, so I designed my own similar file, welded it to a frame and cut it from black cardstock. I backed it with 'Happy Birthday' paper, spattered some mist and added the number 16. It's a really simple card but I love it, and so did my daughter.
