DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge #191-Stylized Birthday

Welcome back to another DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge. This week we have a sketch challenge. To say this was one of the MOST DIFFICULT sketches for me, is an understatement. I really struggled with this. I actually had to take a break and then go back to the drawing board so to speak. 

 

I do like the final results. Sometimes I think I try "too hard" to get it just right and make things harder than they really are. Stylized Birthday wasn't on my wish list but my upline Dawn Olchefske made persuaded me to buy it by showing great samples made with it!!! It is a great single stamp and I love the font.

Recipe:

Stamp Set: Stylized Birthday, Party with Cake

Ink: White embossing powder, VersaMark

Paper: Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Pop of Pink DSP, Whisper White

Accessories: White thick baker's twine, dimensionals, SNAIL, paper trimmer, heat gun, Balloon Bouquet punch, glue dots, small heart punch (retired)
