Here we go, my first posting as a Design Team member for The Challenge. Whoop Whoop I am very excited to join this crafty group of ladies. This week we are playing with a sketch.
I probably should have gone with something pretty and bright for this little crafty celebration, but I needed a Birthday card for my son who turns 22 in a week and my card took a little twist to the grungy masculine side.
I added a little edge of black to each layer, I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of DP and popped the stars up with foam tape. I finished with a spritz of Tuxedo Black Fireworks.
Supplies: White and black card stock, Designer Paper - Carta Bella, Simon Says Stamps - Big Birthday Wishes, Paper Smooches die cuts, sequins.
Jump on over to take a look at what Lesley and the design time have created for The Challenge, join us and play along.
Thanks for stopping by,
Nina
