Happy Little Stampers August Sketch Challenge





We've got a new sketch for the month of August at Happy Little Stampers, and it is a very fun one.


I am aiming to increase my stash of masculine birthday cards, so I used a variety of ink colors that seemed manly to me to string my festive streamers across my card.  No sequins on this puppy, but I did add some stamped embellishments.  This is practically a one layer card--the only dimension is the 'celebrate' die cut at the bottom.




I hope you will join us at Happy Little Stampers sketch challenge this month.


Thanks for Visiting
