I used this great sketch #6 from Page Plans to make a birthday card for my teenage nephew. When I'm making teen cards, my first thought is DCWV Rockstar DP. I rotated the sketch so I could feature the guitar in my design.
I matted the strip of DP that I cut off the left side. Sorry, not sure who makes the birthday stamp (it's a rubber cling set ... I wish they would print the name of the company or the set on the cling sheet - ETA ... just found the set online - Inkadinkado Birthday). I added one-half of a scallop for my design element on the right.
I had a wonderful day of doing very little. I did manage to make my way through a stack of magazines that had been piling up, and now I have lots more design ideas I want to try.
Remember there's a great prize up for grabs at Caardvarks, and all you have to do is show us one of your best month-themed tags (it doesn't have to be specifically made for the month ... just inspired by it).
