Stamping Bella Birthday Card

I have had this Basic Grey paper for quite some time and although I think it is very pretty... every attempt I made to use it just didn't work out. When I saw Amy's sketch on Friday, I decided to just make it work. I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. Thanks for looking.

Cardstock: Bazzill
Paper: Basic Grey
Stamp: Stamping Bella - Patricia Birthdaycake; Hero Arts - sentiment
Tools: Sizzix Die, Martha Stewart Border Punch, Prismacolor pencils, Gamsol
