Birthday Queen Step Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #519

Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a Step Card! This was a new fancy card fold for me so I researched on youtube and came up with a few dimensions that worked for my card.  I made this card with my sister in mind using the Storybook Cardmaking Kit (crown die cut and stamps) and Brushed Paper Pack (retired Close to my Heart).

Here is another view:

The red part of the crown was made by putting Game Over Lunar Paste on a piece of white cardstock and then fancy cutting to match the gold glitter crown.   

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, April 8 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love.
