Deconstructing Sketch #63 - Happy Birthday

This week's Deconstructing Sketch challenge took me 3 days to make because I kept changing my mind every 5 minutes to what I was going to do... You know how it goes... Do I use an image or do I just stick with a sentiment?... What papers do I use?... Do I make it look vintage or cutesie?.. I have mention to you before that procrastination is one of the things I do best haven't I??... Now I think I have officially graduated too... From sometimes practicing procrastination to the Queen Bee!! Anywhoo, I finished it {finally} and I am pretty happy how it turned out I must say so myself...

I started off thinking that I felt way too lazy to actually go through the process of choosing and colouring an image, and being in said lazy mood, I decided to go with a "Happy Birthday" sentiment from Hero Arts. Which kinda worked well as I have a friends birthday coming up and I am going out to dinner to help her celebrate on Friday night. I then chose one of my all time favourite MME's 6x6 paper pads from the Lost and Found Two collection "Rosy" to use because I could tell that this was not going to a cutesie card but a vintage/distressed monstrosity... I then studied Jen's sketch for...Well, I would say at least half a day...

Then it all came together in the end using some gorgeous Prima flowers some black and white bakers twine a Martha Stewart butterfly punch and a gorgeous Martha Stewart dollie.... Dudahhhhh....
