When I saw the Sketch at the Sunday Stamps Be Bold Challenge, I knew it was time to break out one of my most used die cuts – the Die-Versions Solo Happy Birthday.
I die cut it from cardstock and paired it with a Gelli printed background from my stash from the March Printing Challenge using Pan Pastels and the Crazy Quilts Calm & Frenzy Stencil by Andrew Borloz.
I'm also linking-up at the Retro Rubber Challenge where it's Tic Tac Toe. I went diagonal from the top left with PanPastels as my choice, a die cut sentiment and Stenciled background. My retro rubber sentiment stamp is from Impression Obsession Typewriter Slimline Shorts from January 2022.



Great take on our “Be Bold” sketch over at Sunday Stamps. That Happy Birthday die is perfect for keeping your sentiment central. I love that geometric background you created!! Thanks for playing long with our sketch challenge!!
