Welcome, blog friends! Thanks for stopping by! I am excited to present our FIFTIETH sketch and product challenge to you today! :) The focus is on string, so pull out your favorite threads and strings, and play along with us!
My card features one of my FAVORITE new stamp sets. It's Bake Me a Cake from Lawn Fawn. A definite must-have, in my opinion...there are so many options!! I chose a white cardstock base with patterned paper layers from the Cosmo Cricket Delovely paper pad. The cupcakes from the Bake Me a Cake stamp set were stamped in black ink, and the frostings were paper pieced using the same patterned papers. Each cupcake is topped with a Hot Pink Rhinestone "cherry". I colored the bottoms of the cakes using my Koh-i-noor pencils. The "happy birthday" sentiment is from the same stamp set as well, but I inked it one word at a time so that the words would be right next to each other instead of on top of one another. I wrapped a length of black string around the card and tied it through a Calypso Mento Pastel Prima flower and a PTI button before tying a bow.
Be sure to check out each of our talented DT's cards... Christi is working on getting her new home ready, but be sure to check out her blog soon for some new creations! :) I am the first stop on our sketch challenge blog hop, and from here you'll want to visit my sweet friend Jennie!!

Another great sketch! I love it, and I love the addition of string! My card is in this post: http://thebalddragonfly.blogspot.com/2010/06/be-easy-on-me.html
Thanks, it was tons of fun!
Another great job on the sketch and card by you and the DT crew! I need another birthday set like I need a hole in my head, but you do such nice things with that Lawn Fawn set :) I took some "artistic liberties" with the sketch, but it's close enough to the original :)

Hi Mandy, Your card is great. I love the colors. I did not make the deadline, but it looks like a winner has not been selected yet so I thought I would try. Thanks for another great challenge/prize.
