Huge Birthday Wishes

   This card sketch from Stick It Down features a banner element. When I came up with this sketch I immediately thought of a birthday card that I happened to need for my brother's birthday this month. 

  This cute card might be a little young for my big brother but it is so perfect for him since he loves animals, like I do.  

Supplies: cardstock (Cardstock Warehouse), pattern paper (Studio Calico), stamps (Avery Elle and Hero Arts), ink (Hero Arts, Ranger, and Tsukineko), die cuts (Pretty Little Studio), washi tape (Queen & Co.), alcohol markers (Spectrum Noir), and tools (MISTI and Picket Fence) 

  I changed up the card opening on this one so it was almost like a tri-fold card. 

   I am still working on my coloring skills, as you can see I need more work and also need to refill one of my markers since I didn't have a lighter gray to use in the blending. 

 You have until the end of the month to play along with any - or all! - of the sketches.  Just add your creation in the link in the Stick It Down sidebar.  If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #StickItDown.  We’ll choose one winner from the entries and they will be invited to guest design for us in July.
