Seize the Sketch #19: birthday girl



We're back with 



The awesome Jessi is the sketcher for this super challenge!


Initially I struggled with the sketch...not because of the sketch itself, but I was desperately trying to use pattern papers.  That combined with the fact that I was 'crafting' with 4 other gals, nothing ever gets accomplished :) 

So this card was totally inspired by Dawn McVey.  That girl rocks the PTI color combos, eh?  The cardstock is PTI but I don't have any PTI inks so I substituted with Fresh Inks:

Pool
Mojito


Yes, this is the first time I'm using the Phrase Play #3, but hey, at least it is getting some ♥♥♥!

Do you see the faint Pool outline around the Ruby Reprise blooms (thanks Kimberly!)?  It's actually a trick that I learned from Michelle of Avocado Arts.  I flipped the blooms over and slapped them on my stamp block and inked on top of the Mojito with Pool ink!

I can't wait to see how you're inspired!

I hope that you'll play along with us!
