Masculine Birthday Card with Freshly Made Sketch #634

When I saw this interesting sketch at Freshly Made Sketches I knew I had to find time to play along.  I pulled out a favorite Recollections paper pack called "Ink Splatter" and an older Close to my Heart stamp set called "Sunny Thoughts" (February 2018 Stamp of the Month).  The sentiment was embossed with Cobalt Tapestry Embossing Powder (Personal Stamp Exchange).  Thin slivers of Silver Foil paper framed the sentiment while Midnight Blue Nuvo Crystal Drops added some more shimmer to the card.  Here is my card:

This is the fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout:

Large Birthday Sentiment with Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #633

 These two cards came together very quickly following Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #633!  The sparkly papers are from Noble Peacock DSP (retired Stampin' Up) and the big sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Best Year Yet".  The first card was embossed with "Cobalt Tapestry" from Personal Stamp Exchange--can you see the tiny flecks of gold in it?  The second card was stamped with Versamark, then "Uptown" ink by Catherine Pooler and then sprinkled with Polysparkle Clear Tinsel Embossing Powder (retired from Close to my Heart.)
