Happy Times Birthday Card with Tuesday Morning Sketch #658

This week's simple sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches appealed to me (and I had some time to create). As I was going through my drawer of older patterned papers I came across this fun floral paper called "Happy Times" by Close to my Heart.  The older CTMH sentiment die was cut into a dotted glossy piece of cardstock from the back of an ornament tag sold at Michaels.  The gold strips are from a sheet of gold holographic poster board that I've had for years.  

Here is the fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout:
