Happy Birthday To You!

 Birthday cards are my number one requested occasion card I get asked to make and it's also my own personal most used sentiment and I NEVER seem to have enough Lol! So a lot of times, I'm changing sentiment's on cards I already have in my stash...can anyone relate?? So, with that being said, a Birthday card is what I made for the new sketch challenge over at the Try a Sketch On Tuesday challenge blog. Take a look at the sketch below...

And here is my card...

I opted for two bold B&W papers instead of the diagonal striping. Then added the beautiful two-tone poppy flowers to stand off that neutral base. I also used the stripped DSP for the centers of the poppies(did you catch that) ;) to add a bit of whimsy. I made this card late and didn't feel like heat embossing the sentiment on black even though I KNEW it would finish the card perfectly. So, out came the heat embossing things! A few coordinating sequins and I have another one for the stash!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look. I hope you feel inspired to join in with us and for more inspiration, head over to the other DT blogs and see how they used the sketch...see you soon...
