ISSC13 - Birthday Turtle

Happy Friday, everyone!  Hopefully you will have some time to craft this weekend and will play along with us for this week's iSpy Sketches Challenge!

This week the talented Dawn Mercedes is the source of our inspiration.  You can check out her SCS gallery HERE!  Our sketch this week is based on THIS card of Dawn's.

Here is my take on the sketch:

I am playing along with this cute new Whimsie Doodles image called "Birthday Turtle."I colored the image and cut it out so I could pop it up with foam dimensionals over the oval panel.  I distressed the edges of the oval panel and added some tea dye distress ink.  I also sponged the clouds with some SU bashful blue ink.  I paired some DSP from the Simple Stories Happy Day 6x6 paper pad and some PTI dark chocolate and ripe avocado CS.  I added some natural jute and tied a double bow.  The sentiment is the "Happy Birthday" Verve Stamp.

Here is this week's sketch:

Here's how to play:
