Here’s a card that I made a couple of weeks ago and recently noticed that I hadn’t shared with you.  As you’ll probably guess from the elements used, it was just after I got my preorder and it was my first play with Swirly Scribbles and I paired it with two of the new incolours – dapper denim and sweet sugarplum.

I cut a number of the scribbles (there are three of them in the set and I used two here) in both dapper denim and sweet sugarplum and played around with them until I had the colours and scribbles where I liked them. Next was to find some sentiments that worked in the insides of the scribbles. Sunburst Sayings was still out on my desk and the Happy Birthday sentiment fit perfectly. I didn’t want two Happy Birthdays on the front though and went looking – the Woo Hoo! comes from the Sale-a-bration set Party Pants. If you missed Sale-a-bration in the first quarter of the year and don’t have that set, I’m sure that there are loads of other options in your collection. Using It’s Your Day from Sunburst Sayings would work although it would be best masked off and made into a two line sentiment. I stamped the sentiments, also in dapper denim and sweet sugarplum before gluing down the scribbles – just in case! Then I used my favourite 2 way glue pen to attach the scribbles – I’ll have to start using the fine tip glue pen soon, I may as well get used to the fact that the 2 way glue pen has retired!

I finished the card off with a dapper denim card base and dry embossed the envelope flap.
