Happy Birthday

This card was made for my sister, she is turning 17 in a few weeks. Crafty Creations is having their 100th challenge. For the challenge I followed both a sketch and used blue, beige, and plum. I rotated the sketch some, but all the basic features are there.

The inking around the edges is plum, although it is difficult to tell in this picture.

The lace and paper are from my stash, the rose image is from Making Our Mark and can be found here (psst... it's free).

The scalloped edge I modified from a SVG file that can be found here. The fun part was that I got to play around with the different features SCAL offers and modify to my liking. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty impressed with how easy it is to maneuver and switch things up.

For the Happy Birthday I learned how to use the fonts and weld them together, which was fun!

Challenges:
Crafty Creations-sketch and color scheme
Papertake Weekly-anything goes
Stamp Fairy-Celebrate
Lots to Do-something new (oh! that rhymes)-SVG files are new for me :)
