Here is this weeks Sketch :

Here is my take on the sketch!

As you can see, I flipped the sketch. I used the Happy Birthday panel from Our Daily Bread Designs and colored it with my copics and added glitter here and there. The image is framed with the Fleur De Lis Pendant Spellbinders Die (now on sale at ODBD for 15% off-sale price shows up in your cart). The dp is Basic Gray Marrakech, one of my faves!!! The sentiment pulls out and says Happy Birthday.

Stamps : Our Daily Bread Designs: Happy Birthday
Paper: Basic Grey Marrakech, white, blue
