Say It With Sparkles!

Good morning!  I'm thrilled to share some exciting news with you -

That's right!  I was a winner for a Card Patterns Sketch Challenge a little while ago and this week I am so lucky to be a guest designer!  It is so fun to be designing with these amazing women - yay!!

Here is the sketch, CPS132 -

Isn't it fun!  Clean and simple and just my style.  Here is my card -

Yesterday was my sweet Katie's 4th birthday and she is all about pink and sparkly and pink, and more pink.  I started by stamping the It's Your Birthday a la Carte stamp in Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored it with Copics.  The paper is from the 6x6 Happy Days pack from Echo Park.

I used a Quickie Glue Pen to add the glitter on the letters, and oh my, how it sparkles!!  I also used some border bling to add the fun rhinestone border.  More sparkle for the birthday girl.

Be sure to stop by the Card Patterns Sketch blog to see the design team ideas and join in on the fun this week!

Thank you so much for stopping by!
