Birthday Sketch


I wanted to play with a couple of my new stamp sets today and I thought they would be perfect for the sketch at Create with Connie & Mary.    I decided to focus on a birthday card so I could also play along with one of my favorite challenges, The Paper Players!   I've been in a more simple mode for my card making lately and I love the simple, clean lines of this one.  

Stamps:  Petite Pairs, Simply Soft
Ink:  Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, Island Indigo
Paper:  Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Early Espresso, Paisley Petals
Accessories:  Early Espresso satin ribbon (retired)
Tools:  blender pen
