I think all those possibilities might have made it harder for me to start though! That or the fact that I have a lot of new Sale-a-bration (SAB) and Spring catalog items that I want to give some love too!
Here's what I came up with….Isn't he cute? Stampin' Up! named him Henry.
Henry was stamped in Island Indigo and then lightly colored with a blender pen and a Baja Breeze Watercolor Wonder crayon. I know! How long has it been since I've used a WW crayon?? Ages! How about you? Is it time to dust yours off and have some fun?
Next, I punched a few pennants out of the new SAB Sycamore Street DSP and just trimmed them down to fit the scale. I glued them down just at the top edge so I could curl the ends up for some dimension.
I added a bit of Baja Breeze rick rack to the top edge of the panel. I heat embossed the banner with the sentiment from Bring On the Cake (still one of my favorite birthday sets) and then jazzed it up with a Rich Razzleberry scalloped circle and Tangerine Tango Sycamore Street button. I couldn't leave the button naked so I tied a bit of baker's twine through it.
The back panel is a piece of vellum cardstock embossed with the new Cloudy Days embossing folder. The vellum is really cool embossed and I'm glad I dusted it off too! I adhered the vellum to a slightly larger piece of Island Indigo with a few glue dots right in the center so the Henry panel would hide them. The final little detail are the rounded corners on the card base.
Head over the Fab Friday Challenge to see the rest of the design team projects. You won't be disappointed! And we'd love to have you play along! Don't be shy about uploading we can't wait to see your great ideas for this sketch!
