I pulled out my Sunny Studio paper pad and found a few small snippets of brightly colored designer paper that I thought would work perfectly for a sketch challenge I wanted to play with. I stenciled the card base lightly with a data dots stencil and some white craft ink, then placed the 3 bits of designer paper on top. I found a snippet of lavender cardstock that I layered the pre-printed SSS stamp sentiment on, then added a tiny cupcake that was cut with a die and some very tiny snippets of white and green designer paper. I added wink of stella glitter to the frosting and colored the cherry with Copics. The final touch was adding 3 purple gemstones and I'm pleased with how this turned out. I just love the color purple and always have.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
The Snippets Playground Challenge #471 - any celebration theme
(They're celebrating 12 years of the Snippets Playground)
the Double D's 8th Challenge - Birthday/Anniversary
(You can use a birthday/anniversary theme and/or use the color bronze as it's the color for an 8th anniversary)
The January 2024 Stencil Fun Challenge - use a stencil
*Optional - Feed the Birds. {Birds, Birdhouses, Birdfeeders, etc.}
Congrats to those challenges celebrating birthdays and thanks for all you do to keep us challenged to make cards all year long. Where would we be without you?
Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic Monday!

How fun that you added the soft white dots to the bottom of the panel to add interest. This is a cute birthday card you made.
Great card for the Snippets celebration - who doesn't like a cupcake 😉
Love your colourful card and little cupcake.

Darling card and like how you stenciled dots on the purple to tie it all together!
This is a gorgeous card, Carol, and I love the colours of your snippets. Have a great week, take care, hugs, Valerie
I love your take on the sketch Carol. Great colour choices and a fab sentiment.
Thanks for entering a piece of homework to the Snippets Playground. See you up in the treehouse for refreshments later! xxx
Oh, those papers are so pretty and colorful, and a great idea for the sketch! I love the subtle stenciling on the purple background. That has happened to me with the word formatting, too. I don't know how to fix it, either. Thank you for playing with us at Double D!
Great take on on the challenge! Beautiful colors and love the sweet little cupcake! It makes for a wonderful birthday card!
This is a great card! I love those colours and all the different patterns on the papers! That cupcake is the perfect accent! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Love this fun & happy design! Thanks for playing along with us at FMS this week.
Sweet card! Love the bright colors for a birthday! Glad you joined us at FMS!
Not only a great take of that sketch, but a super-sweet card for someone birthday!! Love so much the choice of colourful patterned papers and that light white stencilling is the perfection to put all working so well together! Very well done my friend, you have also made a fabulous use of snippets as always!! I too love purple! :)
I totally agree with your words about challenges, they aren't only so fun to play and sometime a lucky treat for gifts, but keep we all together!!
Sending you big hugs and happy thoughts!!! Keep smiling!
You are the sketch queen. You always do a fabulous job with a sketch. (me not so much) smile...
In answer to the question on my blog. The restaurant I was referring to...I think was called something like Chumlee...at least that what Jim thinks too...We so enjoyed eating there... the chef was so entertaining. The food was so good. The restaurant that opened after that one was called Gatsby. That was closed too. Now it's a place for events at Sunnybrook.
What a beautiful take on the sketch! I love the colors and love it even more that you've used your snippets for it! Fabulous card with a fun stenciled background!
I love it, Carol! Such fun colors and the stenciling brings it all together! Pretty papers and a great design make for a wonderful birthday card! Well done, my friend! TFS
Beautifully created and a happy, pretty and cheerful card, love the light stenciling on the bottom and a great way to use those snippets!!

Hello, Carol! I hope your holidays were okay. I prayed for you a number of times in December as I know it must have been a difficult time.
On a happy note, your birthday card is so colourful and cheerful! I think the cupcake is the perfect touch, and you've made beautiful use of your snippets/ scraps. I need to get myself organized and head over to join the celebration! I miss out on a lot of these fun challenges when I'm away from my blog. Hugs from Canada!
What a lovely card Carol! I expect it will be loved by the recipient - especially one with a 'sweet tooth'!
Hugs
