Bold Birthday


 A new sketch at Sketch Saturday!  The optional twist: Use buttons.

My card does not use buttons, but lots of color. When trying to decide on a color palette for my card, I saw The Card Concept challenge 191b and loved it.  And per Just Add Ink challenge #645, there was no stamping involved. See below.

I ink blended Twisted Citron and Broken China Distress Oxide on white card and then cut it with Altenew's Cubed Cover die. That was trimmed and backed with the Navy card stock.  I used the trimmed piece and used it as a stencil on a white scrap with the same colors, and then decided to glue in the negative pieces left in the die and cut a circle. Mounted that on a navy circle. I inked a scrap with Broken China for the horizontal rectangle and used another piece of navy for the sentiment back. Sentiment die from Poppy.   Hope you will check out this fun sketch and the rest of the DT inspiration.
