Happy Birthday (Verve style!)

Hello!  Today we head to do our taxes........we moved 8 years ago and still travel back to our hometown to do our taxes.  (1 1/2 hr away)  Call us crazy but it works as it gives us a chance to catch up with some of our friends we left behind. 

So, this week's Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge was hosted by Anya Schrier.  What a fun sketch!

As a rule, I generally don't do "tilted" on my cards but I instantly had an idea to change up this sketch!  I recently purchased Echo Park's "All About A Boy" paper pad and decided to stray away from making a floral card...........see what you think.

I've used Treasured Words for my Happy Birthday sentiment and the lightly stamped stars in the background are from Borderline.  See all those sizses of die cut stars?  They are the new die: Starry Die.  I've layered the stars on the Rounded Scallop Frame cut twice to give it a two tone look!  And looky........I've used BRADS!  I think we'll see a revival of these and eyelets......I've got tons of them so let's hope so!!

 

 Thanks for sharing part of your day with me!!!
