I'm so happy to be back on the Sketch Challenge team for the next six months. My first card is a relatively simple birthday card. I didn't want the balloon DP to appear as bright as it is, so I overlaid it with some vellum, which toned down the colors somewhat.

Oh, I thought that was some lovely soft DP. What a great idea to use the vellum to tone it down. Fabulous 10th birthday card, Lois! I'm so looking forward to the rest of your creations on the sketch team!

I'll have to remember that trick with vellum! This is a wonderful birthday card.......age 10, neither fish nor fowl, is so tough, but you did it!

Congratulations on being a part of the Sketch Challenge team, Lois, and what a great start! I love the balloons and think it was a great idea to use vellum. And what a fun birthday card with the dies for the age! Hugs!
