Today’s More Color Monday is also a repeat card sketch back on February 18th I posted a blog post about card sketch #118 -= it is such a fun and easy way to make a card I thought I would show you another version with a totally different Designer Series Paper to show you just how versatile a sketch can be! This sketch is super awesome because it allows you to stretch you DSP by using 3″ and 4″ squares! No WASTE!!

Measurements:
BASE: Pool Party CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
DSP: 4″ square, 3″ square
Bubble Bath CS: 3 1/4″ square, 5/8″ x 2 1/8″
Pretty in Pink CS: 7/8″ x 2 5/8″
Basic Black CS: scrap

Adhere the 4″ square of DSP to the top of the card front.

Adhere the 3″ DSP square to the Bubble Bath matte.

Stamp the sentiment Celebrate to the small Bubble Bath CS layer in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
Mount onto a piece of scrap Pretty In Pink CS and cut to 1/8″ border on the bottom.
Leave about 1/4″ on the right-hand edge for the punch.
Using the Happy Labels Pick a Punch on the Ticket stub side – punch the right-hand edge of the sentiment piece to make it look like a ticket stub edging.
Stamp Happy Birthday from the Boardwalk Fun stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink in the center of the inside of the card.

Die cut a palm tree from the Boardwalk Fun dies in Basic Black CS and adhere to the bottom right-hand corner of the inside of the card.

Adhere the 3 1/4″ matted DSP square to the lower center of the 4″ DSP square on the card front.
Pop up the sentiment over the DSP on the card front.
I place three Frosted Irridescent Dots (which are a retired product but I will put an alternative active product in the photo links below for your buying pleasure! LOL) onto the card to finish off this fun and easy card sketch birthday card!

Try this sketch today with some of your DSP stock and let me know how it turns out!
Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
