2S4Y44 - Happy Birthday

Hi everyone! Hope you're enjoying your Friday... My daughter had the day off from school today, so it really feels like Saturday... LOL, I have to keep reminding myself that it's not!

This is the card I created using the most recent 2 Sketches 4 You sketch. It took me forever to get this finished... In between entertaining my bored 4 year old and our dog being overly sensitive and barking at every.little.thing that comes by, I also decided to be adventurous and try a copycat recipe for Olive Garden's Pasta Fagioli soup. LOL, I don't know how it's going to turn out, but at least the house smells yummy! :)

Have a great day and I'll be back tomorrow with my EtsyInspired Challenge post.

• Create A2 card base using kraft cardstock.
• Stamp background image with white ink.
