Happy Birthday

Here's my card for this week's Viva la Verve sketch.  I used the sketch to make a festive birthday card.

I designed my card around the green and gray striped patterned paper.  The splatter of dots at the end of the patterned paper panel reminded me of birthday confetti!  The panel was matted with green cardstock, then adhered to a pink cardstock panel.  I wrapped a piece of pink grosgrain ribbon around the panel, then added the sentiment panel on top.  The sentiment is from Verve's Small Packages stamp set.  A bright pink pierced circle die cut was tucked underneath the top left corner of the sentiment panel.  I topped it with a shiny silver star die cut, adhered with foam tape for dimension.  The finished panel was adhered to a pale gray card base.

Materials Used:
Small Packages stamp set (Verve Stamps); Memento Luxe Rose Bud ink (IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko); Grout Gray and Spearmint cardstock, Die-namics Pierced Circle Stax and Blueprints 18 dies (My Favorite Things); Sweet Blush cardstock (Papertrey Ink); Girly Twirly 6x6 paper pad (Chickaniddy Crafts); foam tape
