Birthday Wishes--Sketches! {by Tamara} #95

It's Thursday again! That means it's time for another Sketches! {by Tamara} challenge. We're now at Challenge #95! Here's the sketch...



And here's my take on it. Don't you just love this new Wisteria paper from Basic Gray!? I sure do and I didn't want to cover a lot of it up. My base card is Whisper White with layers of Elegant Eggplant and the DP, with a bow tied around with my favorite purple ribbon. The focal image uses stamps from PTI's Life set and was stamped on Whisper White. I used my Stampin' Write markers and colored on the stamp, misted, and stamped on paper. It was matted with Elegant Eggplant and popped up on 3M foam squares. The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White with a stamp from the PTI's Mega Mixed Messages set in Elegant Eggplant, cut/embossed with a Spellbinder tag die, and pinned on with a mini pin by Tim Holtz. Isn't it the cutest little thing?! Three antique brass brads in the upper left corner balance things out.

Don't forget to 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!
