The sentiment is from Gina K and the stitched cover die is from My Favorite Things.

Hello and welcome to another sketch challenge for Try A Sketch On Tuesday. 

The stamps are from Technique Tuesday. I fussy cut two of the nails to use behind the sentiment panel. The self-adhesive silver pearls are supposed to resemble nails as well. I specifically used an odd number of them, but looking at it now, maybe I should have added that last one to balance it out. What do you think?

Here is the sketch.

Happy Birthday

Hello. Playing along with the challenge Woodblock Wednesday with this Birthday card.

My old woodblock stamp is from Impress Cards and Crafts (retired) which used to be a local stamp store for me. Unfortunately, they closed their 3 locations and now have an online store, link above. I sure miss the store in Tukwila - when traffic was bad going home, I'd hop off the freeway and spend an hour looking at all their wonderful inventory.  I'd also spend way too much money there too! LOL. 

I used Simon Says Stamps pawsitively ink to stamp the flowers. The birthday sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!
