Duck Tape Birthday (a la Mojo Monday)

I had so much fun creating a birthday card for my daughter's best friend. This girl is as artsy and creative as my girl (and they are both knee-deep in the Duck tape frenzy), so I thought it would be fun to incorporate Duck tape into her birthday card. My daughter fashioned the "ribbon" and bow for the card  from Duck tape and generously donated some purple sheet Duck tape that she just received for her own birthday a few weeks ago. Mojo Monday Sketch 236 provided the perfect layout for this card which features some of the brand-new teenager's favorite colors, a cake image ('cause cake is one of her favorite foods), and—what else—Duck tape.

Here are the dimensions for the various layers in this 4 x 5.5 card:

• teal card base: 8 x 5.5, scored at 4.25
• white 4 x 5.25
• aqua 3.75 x 5
• purple  3.75 x 1.25 duck tape pieces
• purple 3.75 x 1.25 with top punched w/birthday edge punch
• yellow 3.75 x 1.25, swiss dot embossed
• teal 2.5” scalloped circle
• white 2.25” plain circle w/ heat embossed cake image
• white duck tape “ribbon” 3.75 x .5 and bow
