Seize the Birthday - Toppings: SKETCH



 The paper that I used for this layout is paper I made in a class I taught. The technique is coloring the backside of the front of an embossing folder with ink, spritzing with water and then placing the paper on top. The paper does not go through a cuttlebug. I used two different pieces of paper that I had stamped. I mounted the smaller piece of paper onto bashful blue cardstock and also attached two pieces of leftover circles previously punched. I added a piece of enamel bling, The stripped card stock was cut into thirds and attached onto a piece of bashful blue cardstock. I attached the smaller piece with mounting tape. Lastly I stamped the sentiment.

Paper - SU! Bashful Blue, white card stock, snippets of red paper
Ink - SU!, Distress Ink
Stamp - Papertrey Ink "Communique Curves Sentiments"
Embossing Folders - Distressed Stripes, unknown
