Happy Birthday



With Archiver's closing a few months ago, I  haven't bought any 6x6 patterned paper packs lately and honestly haven't missed them much as I'm not much of a patterned paper user, but there are times when a touch of patterned paper provides the right touch. I had made this card without any paper and it didn't look finished to me.  I added the strip of patterned paper against a strip of deep purple cardstock.  To me, this finished the card off.  I think this one might go to Ryan.  The patterned paper actually reminds me of clothes he would where.  He is a bit of a trendy dresser so the combination of patterned paper with music would suit him well.

And of course, the sketch layout is another awesome one from. CASE this Sketch.
