Sweet Stampin in a Truly Scrumptious Way

It's Saturday again (where did last week go?) and time for another challenge at

Sweet Stampin

and we want you to make a "birthday card using the distressing technique". Once again we are sponsored by the lovely Heather Ellis who will provide four free digi stamps to one randomly selected entrant.

I chose this gorgeous little Pure Innocence girlie with her great big cupcake for my card which I am also entering in the challenge at Truly Scrumptious where there is a sketch and an optional extra to use "brads, buttons and bows".  I rotated the sketch and instead of a central off-set paper panel I used an organza ribbon diagonally across the card. I used Mulberry paper layered with K&Co (both distressingly distressed and inked with TH Distress inks) and cut out my letters from K&Co too using my Cricut machine.

The image (I thought she looked like the letter "P") is coloured in Copics and Promarkers and I added a button to the middle of the second P, some brads to the H and of course a large organza bow. The sentiment came from a set of forgotten stickers. You can left click on the image for a better view.

Do come and join us at Sweet Stampin this week and check out the creations of my lovely team mates!
