I really loved the sketch and decided to stick with the star images. However, Marina Mist is not one of my favorite colors, so working that into the card was a bit of a challenge. Luckily, Sarah's favorite color is green, so hopefully she'll like the card. I took inspiration from Christine Blain's cool card and went for a grungy look.
I randomly stamped images from PTI's Grunge Me set over the card base and also over the stars and the "10". The hardest part was deciding what to stamp in the Very Vanilla panel.

I LOVE this card, Karren! How great are the colours for a boy card (even if you're not a huge fan of the blue?!)!! I'm honoured that you were inspired by me; I am a great fan of your work, you know. I love stars on cards for boys, and you've hit this challenge out of the park. Happy birthday to William for next week - double digits is a bit exciting. Thanks for playing along with us at Just Add Ink :)
This is so cute! Love how you did the stars.
