A Paper Melody: MFTWSC164 - Celebrate Your Special Day

Hi and thanks for stopping by today. I got a chance to play along with this week's MFT Sketch Challenge and added another birthday card to my stash.

I hope you get a chance to play along for a chance to win a little spending money over at My Favorite Things. Remember to check the MFT Blog for all the details and to find inspiration from the MFT Design Team as well as all the MFT Fans too!

I created the background pattern using the On the Diagonal Stencil, a sponge dauber, and Pink Lemonade Ink.

You'll notice that I also added a pattern to the fishtail that runs down the center of the card. For the polka dots I used the Graduated Dots Stencil. Then I cut another fishtail with the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics from vellum.

The sentiment is from the Birthday Greeting Stamp Set and cut out with the Pierced Oval STAX Die-namics. Then I used the Heirloom Label Die-namics behind the oval.

The flower is created with the Royal Rose Die-namics from MFT Felt in Razzle Berry. The leaves are cut with the Layer Leaves Die-namics and the birthday hat with the Party Hat Border Die-namics.

On the inside I stamped another sentiment from the Birthday Greeting Stamp Set.
