S'more Birthday Wishes

Hello!! Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone is enjoying there weekend!! I have a card to share today with a camping theme to it!! I am linking this up to CAS-ology Challenge: Camp and to Newton's Nook Designs First Sketch Challenge and last to Moxie Fab's Birthday Card Challenge, because well why not??? Its a birthday card!! LOL



Inky Paws Challenge #01 - Card Sketch

The challenge for me was to make a CAS card from the sketch and luckily Newton's Nook has a camp themed stamp set that i happen to have!

Instead of using pattern paper for the rectangle behind the circle and banner in the sketch, i stamped the tiny little lightening bug, in white ink, filling in the same rectangle shape. I did stamp off the bug first as i didn;t want it to be glaring white!!

Next i punched a circle and stamped the fire and two marshmallows. I colored them in with some water and distress inks.

Last i had a banner that laying on my desk that i had die cut at some point and it was a perfect fit for the birthday sentiment. I adhered the banner and circle with foam tape to my cardbase.


Talking about camping i hope you stop by tomorrow, i am a guest designer, and the kit just happens to have a camping/travel theme!! I'll have all the details, plus a bonus card on my blog tomorrow!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Dana
