A Monochromatic Birthday Card

This is the birthday card that I made for my sister, Jessica. The sketch that I used is from this months challenge at Crafting Life's Pieces. The image that I used is called Brooklyn Babe from Kenny K Downloads. The base of my card is created by taking a square of white cardstock and inking the edges using a pastel pink chalk inkpad and then backed it in berry blush cardstock. I punched the bottom of a strip of white cardstock using an eyelet lace border punch and then inked the edges using the same ink pad. I cut and embossed a strip small square of white cardstock using a cuttlebug embossing folder (dots) and then inked the edges and lightly across the top of the dots with the same inkpad. Then I cut a strip of white cardstock and inked the edges in the same way. Then I stamped the birthday sentiment on the bottom side of the strip of cardstock. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils. I inked the edges in the same way as the rest of the card. I added three pink sprinkles from Annabelle Stamps to the upper right corner.
