Sketch Saturday



Hello!  We had a birthday party to go to today, and I wanted to share the card I made : )  I used this adorable image from Stamping Bella called The Birthday Boy.  The dp is My Mind's Eye Wild Asparagus and the sketch is from this week's Sketch Saturday.  I decided to rough up the edges a bit with my Tim Holtz distressing tool, and also some Antique Linen Distress Ink. 


This is the card I made for last week's Sketch Saturday Challenge that I posted in my gallery on SCS, but didn't have a chance to post it here.  I used C. C. Designs Swiss Pixie Birgitta and dp from Basic Grey Nook & Pantry.  Thank you so much for stopping by!

These are both so darling Kerri! I had to come here and catch up and see what I missed over the weekend! Awesome take on the sketch. And your yellow creation is so sweet and cheery. You should submit this for the Saturday Spotlight. It is perfect for a "Sunshine" creation with bright bold colors or yellow.
hugs,
Chris
