Happy 2nd Birthday Carter!

Welcome to my second Unscripted Sketch. Jenny and Sharon have another great sketch for us:

After 3 unfinished attempts, I learned that less is more. Here's my take on the sketch:
Last week was my nephew's second birthday and today we'll be at his birthday party. Though I could have made him a card that coordinated with the Thomas invitations and thank yous I made, I decided Bold Brights were the way to go. That way I could color the candles with Crayolas! My DH thought "Look who's turning 11 first" but either way I don't think Carter will mind. :-)
Be sure to go over the the Unscripted Sketch blog to play along, and check out all the other DT members inspiration.
I can't wait to see what you create!

    I like the bold colors and the textured panels. I think the 2 candles are a fun substitute for the number two.

    Love all the different textures on this. Coloring in the candles with crayons is sometimes what you have to do to fit the "mood" of the card. looks great!

    my hat's off to you for using these bright colors! I haven't bought any of them yet! (except real red) This is perfect for a 2-yr old's birthday! Love all the brads, especially the little star! Nice job!
