Happy Birthday to a Very Special You!







 Happy Saturday!  I am popping in with a card to share.  I am playing along with a few blog challenges today.  The first challenge is for Papertrey's MIM Customizing Pattern Paper.  I chose to use PTI's Black and White ALL Over paper pad.   I added some color using PTI Watercolor Wonder stamp set to the horizontal black lines of the patterned paper.  



 I used MFT inks in ripe raspberry, persimmon, daffodil, and blu raspberry for the watercolored lines and sentiment stamping.  For the focal sentiment, I die cut Birthday Cheer die set using gold foiled card stock and layered with some true black and ripe raspberry card stock for added thickness.  I finished with a few sequins.   I chose to use the sketch from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.


I am also playing along with AAA Cards: Sequins
 


As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Betty
