I can hear you all groaning out there - yes, this one is a bit of a challenge, but it's all part of the fun of it, right? I think I am very close to getting voted off the island by the design team, LOL! Out of a great challenge comes amazing creativity! Now, I'm not saying my card is full of amazing creativity - LOL! I almost cheated by just cutting out a 5" x 3.75" sheet of this striped paper, but instead I cut each little pattern out to make them all the same size. You should know that I was singing circus music as I edited this little number; maybe because of the bow-tie and giant polka dots? haha! Since this will obviously be a little kid's card, I think it looks cute with all the polka dots and bright colors. The set is It's a Party, one of the very first sets I ever bought 6 years ago - wow!
The Sweet Sunday Stampers have samples to show you today, so don't forget to stop on by to see:
Have fun!
Karen
EDITED: OK, looks like Mr. Linky is getting greedy and wanting me to pay for a subscription. If you haven't entered yet, please leave your link in the comments. If you have already entered your card, I can still see your links in my Mr. Linky account, so never fear, you're still in the running for Random.org. So sorry everyone. I was told of a new website that is like Mr. Linky, but free, so I'll be using Inlinkz next week.

This is SOOO cute!! I remember how much I loved that set, glad I still have it! TFS!
This is adorable Karen! Love those bold polka dots...fab colour/paper combination for your sketch!!
I really like this sketch - using designer paper for the layers looks great. Will hopefully find time to give this one a try!
I love this sketch Karen! Its awesome. I dont own a brayer or know how to do it, but if I did I would be brayering the background, making it go from light to dark. but since I cant I will have to go and think of something else! Thanks for the awesome sketch again Karen I always look forward to sweet sunday!
A very challenging sketch, but that's the whole idea right! I love your little party piggy, he's so cute, and some lucky little kiddo out there would love him for their birthday I'm sure!

Thanks Karen for the sketch! I wasn't going to do it originally (too many layers to match up sends me reeling) but then I used an edge punch and it's all good! Love your fun birthday card! http://stampinwhenican.blogspot.com/2010/02/zoom.html
