Postage Birthday

Hi, it's time for another challenge from the team at Freshly Made Sketches and this week our sketch hostess is Michelle Langley.  I took the general layout of her sketch to make this card using postage collage products.



After stenciling the images and die-cutting, I arranged them to as closely match the sketch as I could.  I then worked on the vertical panels.  Firstly I sprayed two panels with Distress Spray Stain then I went over both panels with Distress Spritz.  This card is so sparkly in real life.


I finished with a bold birthday sentiment.

Thanks so much for visiting.  Please check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the design team.

Stamps: Mixed Sentiments (Waffle Flower)
