For my design card this week, I inked up a Penny Black stamp that I have had for some time called "Coop Party". I found some nifty glue stickers that I used sparkle on for color. It was the first time that I have ever used them and thought that they turned out pretty well. It actually looks like it was part of the ribbon instead of an added embellishment. My papers were from a old stash of DW that I needed to use up. On my tag is stamped "Happy Birthday". As you can see I simply flipped the sketch on the side to accommodate my image shape.
