Happy Birthday Wayne, and 2 Sketches 4 You Cards

First, I have to say a very, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sweet hubby! We've been married for 23+ years, and he's still my one and only love! Love you!!!!


Now, on to the business at hand - 2 Sketches 4 You!!! They had two great sketches this week. First is my take on Kazan's Sketch # 7 >>>


The base is Bazzill cardstock. The pretty cross-stitched sampler looking paper is from Cosmo Cricket 's Twist and Shout line "Honey Pie: Megan". The pink scalloped journaling sheet is from Making Memories spiral journaling book - the {note}worthy line. The lace is some old lace I've had for ages.


The birdie is hand cut from felt, with a seed bead added for the eye. The rub-on is from Melissa Frances, flowers are Petaloo's Dahlia Box blend, and the large button is from buttonsgaloreandmore.com.



Next up is the bonus sketch, which came from Ingrid. I decided to make this sketch using a Joy Fold technique, and some Bo Bunny paper "Ella
















Enchanted", with a base of Bazzill cardstock. I loved the two coordinating sides of this Bo Bunny paper, so I used the floral side for the outside, and the polka dot side for the inside of the card.

I used my Cuttlebug and the Spellbinder's Nestabilities dies to make the perfect circles and inked them a bit with some matching pink ink. The flowers are cut from the Bo Bunny paper and added with foam dots.

The circles slip under the lower of the two flowers, and that holds the card closed. I added some red and white plaid ribbon for a pretty bow.

The rub-on is from Melissa Frances.

Once again, thanks for visiting my place here at Camellia Cottage. Have a great weekend, and come back for a visit soon! Blessings, Becky
