Have a Happy Day- Fall Birthday

8:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Hello everyone! I hope your week is going well! I wanted to pop in with a card I made for a sketch challenge this week over at Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light challenge. I used the Be Joyful stamp set available at Our Daily Bread designs. I stamped the image and sentiment with Memento and colored with Copics, then cut them out with a Spellbinders Classic Circle (layering them on another classic and scalloped circle). The background is created with the Spellbinders Botanical Swirls!! I just love this die and the dimension and texture it gives!!! I added a little bow made with May Arts ribbon and the Bow Easy.

ODBD Stamps used: Be Joyful

Spellbinders: Classic and Standard Circles (large and small), Botanical Swirls, A2 Matting Basics A and A2 Matting Basics B, Fleur De Lis Accents

Accessories: Ruffled Ribbon, May Arts Wrinkled Ribbon, Bow Easy

Here is the sketch I used:
