cQc137: Geometric Birthday Wishes

This is the card I made for the colorQ challenge this week. The colors were Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder, Basic Grey and Whisper White. I really love the colorQ challenges each week. Even the photos that they take the inspiration from our so beautiful!

I originally hadn't intended on adding the rhinestones. But, much to my dismay, I somehow managed to get a few spots of ink from somewhere on the white cardstock. So I covered them up!

And, now for the details....
