Day 15: Retro Happy Birthday

So I still had Doodled Designs hanging out on my desk when the new Retrosketches card sketch hit my inbox. Um, can you say perfect? And I was off...
I used Confetti Wishes for may background layers, and added some sponged Orange Peel Stickles for a shimmery, splotchy painty feel on the background. I stamped on the doodle and added the happy sentiment from the special exclusive stamp set in the Brushed Workshop on the Go. The pretty butterfly is from that set too. I inked it in Thistle ink and rolled the edges in Black ink, then I filled all the dots with clear, sparkly glitter gel.
I added a few black sparkles and thistle stamped hearts...but I felt unfinished. So I grabbed a sorbet puffy heart sticker from the Chalk It Up Assortment and attacked it with a purple alcohol marker. It was nice and purple...but I scribbled in a black border. Then I covered it in Liquid Glass for a super shiny finish and popped it onto the butterfly center. 

Back tomorrow with another Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge card using this same set, but with a totally different feel!
