Turtley Cute Birthday Celebration CCS570

It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. Nancy is hosting this month and her final challenge is a sketch challenge, with a sentiment layered over a shaper that is layered over two horizontal elements: 

  

Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when making your card.

For my card today I wanted to use another of the cute turtles that I snipped from the Turtley Cute designer series paper - this really is the paper that just keeps on giving! Take a look:

 

Here's the low-down on today's card:

I used two of the other sheets in the pack for my spots and stripes background strips and since today's turtle is baking a birthday cake, I used a diecut 'celebrate' sentiment from the retired Wanted to Say Dies for my sentiment: 

 

A trio of Darling Duckling enamel dots to pick up on the colour of the sentiment complete my card - the perfect simple birthday card that works for girls and boys alike. I added a couple of senitments to the inside of my card from the new 'The Right Words' set - it contains some lovely greetings that work for both the inside and outside of your cards:

Here is the visual summary of the key products used on today's project for you to pin for easy reference:

 

You can see all of my 'How To' summaries on my 'How To - Tips and Techniques' Pinterest board in case you've missed any. 

This is a great sketch from Nance this week - I will definitely be using it again. 

Enjoy your day and I'll be back tomorrow with news of hands-down the best offer we've had to join Stampin' Up! in a very long time, so stay tuned! Until then, happy stampin'!
