Hi Everybody! I hope you are having a great day! Today I'm playing along with the new blog challenge page - I Spy Sketches - this is their 2nd sketch challenge. When I saw the pennant design with the banner across the bottom, I knew this would make a fun birthday card. I used a chalkboard look paper by October Afternoon and some bright pink accents (twine, rhinestone flower center and felt flowers) to make the color really pop! I hope that you have some time to play along this week - you can get all the challenges here: http://ispysketches.blogspot.com/2012/02/issc02-with-beate-johns.html.
