TSSC 250

It's Monday!  Time for the weekly TSSC Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.  This week was a fun one for me, I did a bright and cheery birthday card using Patterned Party.  First, here is the sketch for the week.

Here is the birthday card I made with Patterned Party.

 

I've had this cute set for awhile now but haven't had a chance to use it yet.  Let me just say...I LOVE this set!!  So darn cute and so many design ideas.  I got this retired DSP from the clearance rack a few weeks ago, it decided my color scheme.  I loved the banners on the DSP which matched one of the stamps, so I wanted that piece for the background of the card.

I used the balloon stamp for the focus of the card, each balloon is colored by markers.  I love the bold look of the brights collection, perfect for the balloons.  The greeting is stamped with StazOn Black ink on Pumpkin Pie and die cut with a Bitty Banners Framelit.  It is hard to tell in the picture, but the the balloons and greeting are both adhered with dimensionals.  A couple other details to mention, the red paper under the focal piece is embossed with Perfect Polka Dots EF for texture.  I also added a bit of layering under the focal piece, the white by itself was too plain.  Tempting Turquoise made the piece stand out better, I hand cut the turquoise so the matting would be smaller than using a larger size die cut.

Overall I am quite pleased with this card, makes me smile....it's so bright and cheerful!  I hope you like it too!!  Thanks so much for stopping by.  You can participate in the Lunchtime Sketch Challenge too, just go to Technostamper and upload your card!
