Howdy Neighbors Congrats Card with Stella Says Sketch #905

 One of my best friends just got a new job so it was a perfect opportunity to create a fun card for her.  Her favorite color is pink so I used Flamingo ink with Flamingo Card Stock with Black accents.  The pink plaid paper came from Blue Skies paper pack. The stamps came from Howdy Neighbors stamp set.  The bold "congrats" sentiment was embossed by inking in Versamark and Black ink before applying Clear Embossing Powder.

This is the fabulous Stella Says Sketch #905 that inspired my card layout:

Here is another card I made following the above sketch:
