I saw a great sketch challenge yesterday and I decided that I just had to make a card with the stuff that I had. No suitable paper so I created my own with the Spriing Selection of Art and Graphic pens and the savvy stamps that I had with me. They are: 633G Argyle Background, 675D Dotted Happy Birthday trail and 296B Curly Flower. They will be back on sale at the end of August.


I cut a base card, 140mm x 140mm, in pink. I stuck a piece of white paper to this card and edged the paper with pink pen from the Spring Colours.
I put a layer of pink striped paper, from the Take Out the Stash Box, over part of this as shown and I then stuck on the Argyle Background which I also edged with pink pen as shown.

I stamped a piece of card with the flower and stamped the Argyle Background twice, using the pink pen to colour it up, onto 1 piece of card. I cut out two pieces to make the layers.
Stick a length of Birthday Greeting ribbon down the side of the card and top with a bow that has been tied with a bowshaper. Use foam pads to stick on the bow.
Now layer up with the daisy card which has been mounted onto a piece of pink card that matches the base card.
Finally stamp Happy Birthday on to a piece of white card and layer up with pink card. Stick to the card with 3D foam pads.
