Wanna Sketch with Hennah Elements
I needed to make a birthday card. I started with the current sketch at Wanna Sketch thinking that the three elements would be cupcakes. I even envisioned a candle on the first cupcake, but not on the second two, leaving room for the sentiment. I had it all planned out.
But somehow Altenew's Hennah Elements set ended up in my hands and I saw the possibilities in the three flowers!
This is a 3 1/2 x 5 1/2" card so that the flower fill the entire width.
Even the colors were a surprise to me! I had planned on rich, fall colors but when I was pawing through my sequin stash, I noticed these Doodlebug sprinkles and I wanted to spice up the card with a a little glow and sparkle!
"Birthday" comes from another Altenew set - Label Love. The label is actually says "Happy Birthday" but it was too long for the three flowers. Then I spent an inordinate amount of time finding a "Happy" that would fit the space and the style. Thirteen different happy stamps tried and found lacking - I gotta get a life!!! This one is from an old Fresh Squeezed Stamps set - Take a Number - so I cannot even link it since they have closed their doors.
I'm still thinking the cupcake idea was pretty good...hmmm....
