I am SO glad I got to play along with the Freshly Made sketch challenge this week - I think this has to be my new favourite sketch! My time in the studio was limited this week, but I still managed to make THREE different cards using this sketch in less than 45 minutes. Insides and envelopes done too. LOVE this sketch!
I am going to need a birthday card for my Brother-In-Law early next month, so the first card I did was for him.
The card base is 5 x 6.5" and is a soft grey colour. That center panel was just asking to be embossed, so I used a numbers embossing folder.
Love that little owl sticker ... the leaf stem is felt!

Above is a peek at the inside of the card.
Now I know I should be saving this card for Masculine Card Monday, but I am going to be really busy on Monday and I didn't want to miss the deadline for the Freshly Made Sketch Challenge.
In addition - there is a new challenge blog that I hope to play along with as well -- called Seize The Birthday. They won't be posting sketches until the New Year, but they ARE having a Linky kick off party. I will add my link to this birthday card over there too.
Supplies:
Flag dies - MFT
White embossing powder
Happy Birthday Stamp - PTI
Circle Punch - SU
Stampin' Up Dimensionals
everything else from my stash.
The other two cards I made with this great sketch will be posted another time - thanks for stopping by today!
nice cards and the words are great!
