FFC#2 You're Only as old as you feel~

Click Here for my 200 Follower Giveaway Post

Hello my friends!
This is my 2nd post today so if you are looking for the Cardz TV post, please click the link at the top of this page. I just want to say thank you to everyone who played in last week's first Funday Friday challenge! We had more entries then I had expected so that makes me SMILE! This week's challenge is another fun sketch. I just want everyone to know that our Funday Friday Challenges will not always be a sketch. We have all kinds of things in store for you but since we are brand new, we figured we would start off with something we know everyone loves, sketches!
Here is this week's sketch created by our own Amanda :


 and here is my take on the sketch:
 
I decided to use this challenge to make my sister her birthday card. My birthday is this Sunday and hers is next Sunday. My card base is 4 1/4 by 5 1/2. I used Bazzill CS for my base. I used paper by Bazzill and Cosmo Cricket. I decided to go with stripes because for some reason, stripes draw the eye to the focal point IMO.
 
I used my Spellbinders Beaded Ovals dies to frame my sentiment, "You're only as old as you feel" which is from the "Good Times" stamp set by Cardz TV Stamps. I cut the largest oval(black) and the second largest oval (white). I took some handmade fiber paper (red strip) to add some red as an accent color behind the ovals to compliment the striped paper on the bottom. I added a cute little rose to my sentiment frame and the sentiment is popped up on foam tape.
I used my EK Success punch to form the heart scroll border behind the ovals and once again added some more of that handmade fiber paper. It seems to give the look of ribbon. I really like how this card turned out. Below is a picture of the inside which has another sentiment from the "Good Times" stamp set, "Happy birthday to you". To order this stamp set, click Here.

  18. Hi Jo, it took a bit for the comment block to show up,but finally it did!So I can tell you thanks for visiting my blog, leaving a sweet comment. Love the card you have today, with the beaded ovals. Thanks for sharing the tips about the striped paper...I'll try to remember that one, as I have trouble using stripes well. Great details with the fibers and the heart punch trim behind the focal point. If I can get my act together in time, I'll try to get something for the challenge, so I can play this week. My friend Brenda at http://friendscraftinwithfriends.blogspot.com/ sent me to your challenge last week. It was fun, do-able, and I enjoyed it. I'll look around your site, and try to join as a new follower. Hope you'll come back to visit me too, when time permits. TFS & Happy Birthday to your Sis.
