Unscripted Birthday Card


Another Saturday and
another sketch from

The idea is to create ANYthing
that incorporates the basic idea
of the sketch.


Instead of rectangles, my layers
consist of circles. And the knot
is the "button" piece.


I used a pretty cool technique:
Embossing on black card stock.
Stamp  your image with white craft
ink onto black card stock and then emboss
with a colored embossing powder.
I used gold, pearl green, and burgundy.


Because you've used white as your
ink base, it allows the color of the powder
to remain as true as possible.


Here's to another creative outlet!
