I had a request from a co-worker for Birthday cards for his Dad & young niece. I loved this week's CPS Sketch, so I used it to make two completely different designs.
The first one for his Dad uses The Outpost from Artistic Outpost (I love their stamps for masculine cards); a sentiment from Stampin' Up; and Memory Box papers. I added some direct-to-paper ink around the edges of the card & sentiment.
The next one for his young niece rotates the sketch and uses Basic Grey Cupcake papers, a fun Martha Stewart party hat punch, and Inkadinkado sentiment.
These cards also work for the Crazy For Challenges blog's prompt to create a birthday card.
Both are great - it is nice to see different way of using the same sketch,

Great to see two such very different cards.
I like the first one, really masculine and the second is sweet.
