Hello! Welcome to the Stamper’s Dozen monthly Blog Hop, where we have a sketch challenge this month. Mark your calendars for the 14th of next month to see some Christmas in July ideas! I have mine finished and was about to post it when I realized that it was the June sketch that was up for today! Brain fog!

The Sketch:

The Sketch Card:

Here is my card. I am using some returning and brand-new colors for this Bright and Beautiful Birthday card. I love the fringe die in the Beautiful Balloons Die Set.

A Side View:

I started with a Lemon Lolly card base and glued three 3/4″ strips in the center; Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, and Azure Afternoon. The fringe along the bottom of the focal point is made from Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) using a die from the Beautiful Balloons Dies. The three balloons are cut from the same die set, and the strings are stamped in Berry Burst with a stamp from the Beautiful Balloons stamp set. As can be seen, my color choices were made by looking at the colors in the DSP.

For a bit of bling, I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels. I suggest you save this sketch for a quick and easy layout. Click the next name in the list below to follow the other inspirational posts. Thank you for stopping by today!
