As with Day 1, Day 2, Day 5, Day 6, and Day 7, I love using the rainbow to create birthday cards. Rainbows are bright and happy, which is perfect for birthday cards. You can change it to glittered paper or metallic paper or shades of your favorite color. Use what you have on hand or a color combination that is new to you. Meet me back here for Day 9 of the 31 Days of Handmade Cards. Be creative!
