Party Pop-Up Birthday

This card is another CASE. See the original card on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts here. The birthday cake sentiment is cut with a thinlit from the Party Pop-Up set. The letters and candle flames have a little sparkle added with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush - unfortunately it's very difficult to photograph and makes the letters look a bit blurry in this picture. The streamers are part of the second thinlit in the set. The background DSP is from the Cherry on Top stack that is now retired.

Butterfly Birthday for Try Stampin' On Tuesday challenge # 259

Today was forecast to be hot. It was already 30 degrees by 7am, so it's been a good day to stay inside & keep cool. Since I wasn't working today I found a sketch challenge at Try Stampin' On Tuesday that I thought I'd have a go at. It did turn out to be a challenge! I didn't love my first attempt at the sketch using DSP's. I struggle with using DSP's on cards, partly because I don't want to cut up the pretty papers, and because my cards tend to be fairly simple designs and the papers are too busy or have colours I don't love (I struggle with using colours too...). For take two I reverted to a farily monochromatic colour scheme with neutrals and good old butterflies. Here is the sketch:

And my take on it:

This was attempt number one - I need a card for a little friend's birthday. I don't love it but still have another week or so before I need to post it so will try again. I used papers from the Cherry On Top DSP stack which is 6x6" (somehow it seems easier to cut up ;) ) and I managed to get both pieces from one sheet as the designs I chose were back to back. The sentiment is a little wonky because it is meant to be curved and I straightened it onto the acrylic block - a definite advantage of photopolymer stamps. I don't think a 2 year old will mind, do you?
