Sparkle Creations January Preview -- Birthday Josh!

Hello and Welcome to the first day of previews for the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps January release! Sparkle is releasing 2 new images at midnight EST this Saturday, January 8 .. Today we are previewing Birthday Josh!


I almost didn't recognize Josh without his headphones! He looks to be off to a birthday party here, doesn't he? I paired him with some paper from My Mind's Eye (Fine and Dandy True Blue) and added some star rhinestones from Pizzazz Aplenty. I stamped the sentiment "Birthday Wishes" in Versamark Watermark for a subtle effect -- see below (I had to lighten the detail shot quite a bit for it to show up on the Dark Chocolate cardstock).



I used Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch #98 for my layout.


Be sure to visit her and the rest of the SCRS designers for more peeks of Birthday Josh. Sparkle will be giving away a Birthday Josh to one lucky person! For a chance to win, you need to comment on all of the designer's blogs (list below). Then head on over to the SCRS blog and comment on the Josh post. You have until midnight EST each day to comment. The lucky winner will be announced the following day!
