2S4Y38 - Happy Birthday

Hi everyone! I don't know about you, but I am SO GLAD the weekend is finally here. :)

This card was created using the 2 Sketches 4 You #38 Sketch, and one of the color combos that Maile uses on her gorgeous work: melon berry, aqua mist, vintage crea and kraft. Such pretty colors together! I'm not sure if you can tell in the photo, but the background on the cream panel was heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I *love* the subtle texture it adds, sooooo pretty IRL.

Have a great weekend! :)

Supplies:
Stamps - Handwritten Notes, Beautiful Blooms, Polka Dot Basics 2, Background Basics: Retro
Ink - Versamark, Dark Chocolate, Melon Berry, Aqua Mist
Paper - Melon Berry, Vintage Cream, Aqua Mist, Kraft
Miscellaneous - Corner Rounder, Aqua Mist Grosgrain Ribbon, Fiskars Upper Crest Punch, Clear Embossing Powder

  9. Melon Berry is my least fave PTI color and I rarely use it SOOOO I love seeing it used and all the different color combinations it works with and it looks really pretty here with the Dark Chocolate and the Aqua Mist...though it was Spring Rain at first though. Love the way you are so creative with backgrounds too - very inspiring.
