Happy Birthday for Two Challenges


SK 171 US 202This card design is based on a sketch at Unscripted Sketches and the elements used were inspired by the Easy As 1,2,3 challenge over at All Sorts Challenge.  This means that the card needs to include: 1 image, 2 papers, 3 embellishments. I thought that the sketch design from Unscripted Sketches was perfect for this challenge.  So, I began by cutting my two different patterned papers into rectangles that would fit the design layout. Next, I stamped the cattails and added a little ink around the top and bottom edge of this panel and adhered it to the cardbase.  I adhered the remaining pieces of patterned paper, stamped Happy Birthday and added three star shaped buttons between the rectangles on the right hand side. 
Supplies:
Cardbase: Paper Studio
Patterned Papers: ??? scraps from my stash
Stamp: Market Street (cattails), Stampin' Up (sentiment)
Ink: Memento
Markers: Bic Mark It
Colored Pencil: Crayola
Buttons (bought them at a garage sale)
Embroidery Thread: DMC
Adhesive: Scotch ATG, Elmers Glue Spots

    Great job combining two challenges! Marvelous job interpreting this week's sketch. I love this paper collection! Stamping the cattails on the checkered paper looks awesome. Nice touch with the string tied stars and the inked edges. Thanks for choosing to play along with us this week at Unscripted Sketches :)

    A beautifully elegant card Brenda, the soft colours work so well with that bullrush image.
