When I looked at it, it just SCREAMED "clean and simple", so that is what I've {hopefully} achieved.
I've used Choc Chip as my base then added a panel of Confetti White which got a little trimming with my FABULOUS and FAVE tool at the moment, my Apron Lace Punch. I stamped my image on Kraft Card stock using Whisper White Ink and my Pocket Silhouette stamp. The Happy Birthday sentiment is... well the Happy is from Basic Phrases and the Birthday is from my very own hand... yep... that's my handwriting. I LOVE Dawn McVey's stamps that incorporate the printed word with a handwritten word... so I thought I'd have a little crack at it myself.
To finish it off I added some Choc Chip wide Grosgrain and a button with some linen thread.
Hope you like this and be sure to pop on over and see what the other Inkspiration DT have made for you to see, I'm sure you WONT be disappointed:-
