Bubbly Birthday Card

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  I needed a birthday card for a special middle school aged boy, so I turned to the fun Soda Pop set and matching dies for my card.

I used cardstock scraps to cut the soda bottles.  After I assembled them, I arranged them on a cream pierced rectangle die cut.  The "may your day bubble over with fun" sentiment was stamped beneath the bottles in red ink.  The sentiment doesn't exactly say "birthday," but I think it works for the occasion!  The panel was adhered to a piece of kraft cardstock over a trio of narrow red cardstock strips.  I accented the bottles with some red enamel dots.  They work well with the bubble theme of the sentiment.  The finished panel was adhered to a dark brown card base, matching the color of the soda bottles.  I hope the birthday boy likes it!
