This week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches was designed by Judy at Jar Full of Joy I wanted to make a monochromatic birthday card using some Stampin' Up! designer series paper and a stamp and die set I hadn't tried out yet, so these three rectangles in the sketch became the perfect layout.

HERE'S MY CARD:
I pulled out an old retired birthday stamp set from Stampin' Up! called Picture Perfect Birthday, to stamp the little party horn to mount on the focal piece. I love those stamps and have never been able to part with them because they add such a fun feeling to a celebration. To make sure the little horn stood out from the background color I stamped it using Coastal Cabana Ink. The beautiful opalescent sequins bring the focal point to life.
