Welcome to my blog and Happy Easter weekend! Today I'm using the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #625 to make a child's birthday. This little guy loves loves dinosaurs so I created a scene by replacing the rabbit in the sketch with a dinosaur coming out of its egg. I flipped the sketch on it's side so I had room to get all the little elements together.
Here's My Card:
I am really falling in love with the Basic Beige cardstock Stampin' Up! began stocking this past year. When you compare the rocks which are in Crumb Cake cardstock in this photo to the Basic Beige there is such a significant difference. I really like this lighter tone, and it's such a fabulous neutral. It works perfectly with the Timeless Plaid dsp matting on this card.
I kept the inside of the card fairly simple. Again I used a matte from the Timeless Plaid DSP and I stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from Perennial Birthdays, one of my most favourite birthday celebration stamp sets.
