A Simply Sketched Birthday

I thought this card was SO pretty when I saw it.  I found it at "Sleepy in Seattle".  I thought her card was so striking that I just HAD to make it.  You can see the original card here.  

I did change it every so slightly.  For my card I used Whisper White for the base.  I took a piece of Pool Party and cut it to 5-1/4" x 4".  Then I stamped the "Hello Doily" stamp using the White Craft ink.  I also embossed it using white embossing powder.  I had originally stamped one in white ink and then used the Heat and Sick powder with glitter but the white ink disappeared and all I saw was a clear doily with glitter.  It was pretty but not the look I was going for.  

I stamped the bird on a piece of scrap paper and punched it out using the 2" circle punch.  The Pool Party circle behind it is a 2-1/8" circle.  I set it in place using Dimensionals.  I added a piece of white Taffeta and then made and attached a bow.  

The words are from the "Teeny Tiny Wishes" set.  One of my favorite word sets.  On the original card the words are stamped directly on the Pool Party piece.  I didn't think I had enough room on my piece to do that.  I like how mine turned out and if you don't go to see the original card than you will think this one looks just fine too!!! LOL
