Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge #110

Here's the sketch for challenge #110 over on the Stars & Stamps blog.

And here's the card I made for the challenge. I've had this image colored and in my stash for a long, long time, so this morning I pulled it out and actually used it to make a card! I have stickle accents all over the cake and candles, but I'll cover them with glossy accents to seal them before sending it off to OWH. I embossed the scrap of purple cardstock with a CB birthday ef, and added some computer generated tiny tags with mini brads in keeping with the sketch. The tags are fastened down with dimensionals. This card was quick and easy, and I need to dig into my stash of started projects and use them more often!
Thanks for stopping by and have a super Sunday! I'm SO geared up for the big season opener NASCAR race at Daytona today, and I'll probably catch some of the Oscars awards show tonight, so it's going to be a TV day here at our house!
Take care!

Carol

  2. Carol, this is super cute. You are really going to brighten up someone's day with this one. I love how you made your little tags with the brads. I've been busy packing up my OWH box this morning (no cards made yet) and if I get a minute I'll make a card, but it's RACE day so probably not. YAY for NASCAR, Go Tony!! I'm going to make some chicken wings and sit down for the rest of the day.
