Growing up is optional

Today starts a new sketch challenge over at Catch the Bug - we are now doing biweekly Anything goes challenges and biweekly sketch challenges on alternate weeks.

For this card I chose Gus Birthday - Optional - I used part of the image and sentiment that came with it.
My favorite Distress Oxide color is the speckled egg one, here I used it with several stencils and I added orange too, I love this color combo.
I stamped with random choice of stamps and fussy cut a stamped candle border from Lawn Fawn.
I used a black Posca pen to make frames for the senitmensta nd the dotted line around the edges of the card.


This card is also for:
Little Red Wagon - #604 Masculine
The Male Room - Dads and Grandads
WaterCooler Wednesday - #317  Masculine

    Fun card Pia, and this colours combo is really effective!
    Your dots are just perfect, I though they were on a pierced frame! I'm very inaccurate in these things
