Happy Birthday - Enjoy Your Special Day

I saw this card a few months ago on Cristina Kowalczyk's blog - Cristina is known for her "clean & simple" cards.  I didn't call this one a CAS card since it took me quite a while to line up all the squares!

I started with a piece of white cardstock, and I guess I "cheated" because I drew a pencil line where I wanted to stamp the squares, otherwise I know I wouldn't be able to stamp them straight!  I used my favorite 7 color combination (purple, blue, light blue, green, orange, pink, red) and stamped each square.  I stamped the extra large birthday sentiment in black.

I wanted to make my card a little different from Cristina's so I ran the white cardstock through the Cuttlebug with my linen impression plate.  I also the added red stars and maraschino twine.
