Bugaboo Birthday Bash Sketch

Hi there have you been playing along with the birthday bash at Bugaboo. Gosh they are 8 years old congrats to them. I think i have been a fan of theirs since day one.

So I saw this sketch they did which is a very easy one and had to play along. 

So here is the sketch and my card.

I actually used the image in the sketch as I had previously printed out.

I kept the card exactly as the sketch.

Coloured my image with promarkers

Dies are Stitched circle and a plain xcut circle.

Dp is from stash and i looked for some old papers as I had some from probably nearly 8 years old in a box to go with the theme. I think it is papermania not much left of it.

The birthday sentiment is a negative of a Birthday Clearly besotted die and the wishes is a old rubber stamp.

A few gems for bling

Well hope you like and off to link up before the challenge closes.

You can find lots of brilliant images like this at their shop and they have a friday freebie so well worth a peep HERE
