** I'm offering up some Birthday Blog Candy! Go HERE to see the original post! Thanks! **
Hello everyone and happy Sunday!
You know what today is - another challenge at Birthday Sundaes!
supplies: CS: yellow (SU!), white (Neenah); DP: Echo Park; digi stamp: Love Letter Kaylee (Some Odd Girl); sentiment stamp: Sentiment Sampler (Paper Smooches); ink: Studio G; chocolate chip (SU!) ;other: swirls embossing folder (Cuttlebug), rectangle & scalloped rectangle nestabilities (Spellbinders), brads (SU!), Copic Markers
This week's Birthday Sundaes challenge is an easy one: Create a card using 3 or more brads!
It's been a busy couple of weeks so I didn't get a chance to really sit down and pick my brains on how to be creative with the brads... but I DO love using them in 3s as an accent to a card, so that's what I did. Super simple, but I think it adds a little cuteness factor, too - don't you think?
For my card this week, I used Love Letter Kaylee from Some Odd Girl. I tried my hand at coloring red hair for the first time - I think I need more practice, but I do like the way she turned out! The sentiment stamp is from my new favorite Paper Smooches sentiment set - LOVE IT, btw. :)
Anyway, THANK YOU THANK YOU for visiting today and following my blog! I do appreciate all of the little comments you leave for me! Have a wonderful week and be sure to visit Birthday Sundaes and see what the rest of the DT has created this week! :)
Kaylee is super cute. I love the way you colored her. You did great with her red hair. I'm loving Paper Smooches. I haven't ordered anything yet, but I have too. I love the look of the sentiment. I too love to accent cards with 3 brads (or buttons). I think it adds a great little punch. Great job!!

I love the red hair on Kaylee! The colors on the rest of the card are great too - bright & cheerful! Brads were my first scrappy embellishment love - it's nice to go back to basics sometimes :)
A lot of people I know are raving about Paper Smooches stamps - I'm going to have to check them out!
