Birthday FANfare--Sketches {by Tamara} #87

Time for another sketch from Sketches {by Tamara}--this one is Sketch #87. As soon as I saw it I immediately thought of an Ornare paper piercing template that I'd never used but that would be PERFECT for this sketch! Here's the sketch:


My base card is Whisper White with layers of Always Artichoke, Bashful Blue, and DP from the Mellow 6 x 6 pad from Basic Grey. The focal image is paper pierced (with this Ornare template--see what I mean, it's PERFECT for this sketch!) Whisper White card stock, which was cut/embossed with a circle Nestabilities die and matted with Always Artichoke, cut/embossed with a scalloped die. The center is Bashful Blue with the Nestabilities thing going on and highlighted with a fabric covered brad from The Paper Studio and is up on 3M foam squares. The sentiment is from PTI's Birthday Basics set and was stamped on Whisper White with Always Artichoke. It was then cut/embossed with a Spellbinders ribbon slider die and attached with blue satin ribbon.

Check out the sketch at the Sketches {by Tamara} blog and give it a try--we'd love to see what you come up with!
