Epic Sketched Birthday

If you are looking for a nice birthday stamp set, Sketched Birthday is one to think about.  Not only does it include images that you can color, but also includes sentiments that coordinate with the Itty Bitty Framelits.  That being said, if you do not have the framelit set, the straight lines make it easy enough to cut by hand.  That is what I did on today's card and then layered that stamped image on Daffodil Delight cardstock and hand cut that, too. The background was accomplished by placing Vanilla cardstock in the Stripes embossing folder on a diagonal and then turning the cardstock in the opposite direction and embossing again.  (Guess what?  In the new Holiday Mini catalog which you should be receiving in the mail over the next couple of weeks, there is a diagonal striped embossing folder and I love it!)  The print paper is from the Epic This and That DSP collection. The balloons and party hats were colored using matching SU markers, cut with paper snips and embellished with a little Dazzling Details added to the images.   Fun card, fun colors.  Hope you have a fun day!
