Birthday Boy

I have two brothers and it just happens to be both their birthday's this week. Not only do I have to make cards for them but I had other people ask me to make cards for them too! This is one I made for my step-mother to give to...I was thinking for my older brother but she can decide.

This card is for the i{heart}2stamp Sketch for You to Try. I altered the sketch {smile}. I originally tried to do three strips of striped paper but it looked...just too much! So, one strip is ribbon instead. I hope my brother will like it! {cross fingers}

I've been trying stitching on my cards so you'll see a couple with it. I just love the way it looks! I got a little colourful on one of my next cards...check back to see it!

Here's the inside:
I just punched out a few circles and sparkled them up.

I hope you enjoy!!
