Kendra's Card Challenge #9 Birthday Card

Several weeks ago I stumbled upon (perhaps from Pinterest?)  Kendra's Card Challenges.  This is her 9th challenge and she has templates to use 6 different 6 x 6 papers (with the addition of coordinating card stocks) to create 15 different cards.  The cutting diagrams and card sketches were well labeled and easy to follow.  It took me several weeks to complete but it was a lot of fun!

Here is a photo of the 6 papers I started with--just random papers I had in my stash although using a coordinating paper pack would work too.

This is how all of my cards turned out:

Engagement Congratulations Card with Freshly Made Sketch 566

Happy New Year everyone! 

My nephew got engaged at Christmas and I wanted to make them a personalized card.  I followed Freshly Made Sketch #566 and substituted hearts for the circles in the sketch.  An embossing pen and white embossing powder were used to personalize the hearts.  Leaf dies were used to cut gold metallic foil.  The white embossed background is an older Close to My Heart embossing folder.

Here is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:
