A Little Birthday Wish–C4C #204

Hi, all, and welcome to this week’s Crazy 4 Challenges! Today’s challenge is a sketch and what great sketch it is! I’m really loving this one and I’m pretty sure you’ll see it here again :)

I started with a Primitive White card stock base, and added a Die-namics Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX element, cut from Kraft card stock and stamped with LJD Art Expression Text and Versamark. I tied some hemp cord around that and tied on a Tangy Orange button before layering on a Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX element. I cut this out of Blu Raspberry card stock and stamped a flourish from Finishing Flourishes with Whip Cream pigment ink and head embossed with off white embossing powder. The sentiment element was created by cutting out a Die-namics Oval STAX 1 die and stamped the sentiment from LJD Birthday Greetings with Steel Gray ink. I matted this with a Tangy Orange card stock layer cut with Die-namics Oval STAX 2 with a Die-namics Leaf-Filled Flourish cut from Jellybean Green card stock sandwiched in between. That was popped up on foam and it was done!

For the inside, I stamped another sentiment from LJD Birthday Greetings.
