My friend's birthday is coming up. She is a kitty lover and currently in medical school. As a second year, she is doing all kinds of things from drawing blood to medicating patients via IVs. So for her birthday card, I thought nurse Sprinkles from TCP You Sick Thing set would work just right!
I needed a little help with a layout idea and I was able to find inspiration from this week's ESS Sketch #96 created by Tracy Clemente. Really like the simple layering of the sketch and I smiled when I saw I could use a flower accent! This gave me the perfect chance to create a FUN flower accent that I have been seeing others used; using the TCP flower die along with the TCP button die to cuts various button that layer oh so nicely. Really like how the flower adds dimension to the card. For the frame around nurse Sprinkle, I used my Cricut Cindy Loo (that I bought just for the many frame cuts). The daisy in the sketch reminded me of the MS daisy edge punch I have been meaning to use and reminded me of this Cuttlebug edge embossing folder that coordinates nicely while adding dimension to a blank space.
I am really looking forward to her getting this card. It celebrates her caring nature and makes the perfect bday card for her.
Thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!

P.S.- Carol I also wanted to check in with you. I haven't seen you on SCS for a little while and just wanted to make sure that you haven't forgotten about the TCP ATC swap. The due date is creeping up on 09/15/2010.
