I was totally stumped with this sketch with no idea how to tackle it, but then decided to keep my card very clean and simple:
I stamped the large flower image from AnnaBelle's Ballerina Rose set in Tuxedo Black ink. I then used my new Cosmo Cricket DeLovely paper pad to paper piece these images. After I had done this, I used a ruler and black marker to draw a border around 3 edges of the Kraft cardstock, using some Hawaiian Shores ribbon as my border on the last side. My bow acts as the element from the sketch in the top left corner.
I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment in Tuxedo Black ink again using the Jasmine's Cupcake stamp set. Some Blossom Sprinkles were added to the flower centres and then the top layer was popped up on dimensionals before adding to the Kraft base.
