Pretty Party

I started out with the Creating Pretty Cards sketch and the Stampin' Royals inspiration photo, with the full intention of making a boy's birthday card, with brightly patterned pennants and boy friendly elements.... I ended up having to give him a card from my pre-made stash instead, because as I got into the design for this card, each aspect made it more and more feminine, until the point where I just gave in and started making the flowers I was so itching to add. It may not be at all what I intended, but it's one of my favorite cards overall! Happy Accidents (which is also a fabulous movie I saw recently... you should watch it too!)


And here is the great sketch and the photo with endless elements of inspiration:

  1. This turned out really cute! I don't think I could have resisted adding the flowers either. Such a cheerful card! I love the pennants. Thanks so much for playing along with the Creating Pretty Cards Sketch Challenge over at Craft Project Central.
