Birthday Wishes - WMSC57

Happy Saturday!

Here is today's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge:
Another fun sketch from Julia.

And here is the card I created for this sketch:

The hibiscus flowers are from Free Spirit - Boy. I stamped them on a gradient of cardstock colors, cut them out and then adhered them to my card front. Some are adhered with dimensional tape and others are flat. I also added some coordinating rhinestones to the center of each flower. Is it bad that I had rhinestones to match all those colors? :)

We hope you'll play along with us this week - head to the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge Blog to link up your creation. In addition to the Top Mice awards, a free stamp set is awarded each week to a random player!

Have a great day!

Anya

  6. Love this! A perfect example of how well-placed gemstones can add to a project, too. I have a feeling I'm going to be CASEing this one in the near future. :)
