Milestone Birthday Card with Freshly Made Sketch #628

I needed to make a special card for a male friend and decided to start with Freshly Made Sketch #628.  I didn't feel like taking out my Cricut machine to cut out the numbers so I used an Embossing Pen and Gold Embossing Powder to make the number 70.  The orientation of the sentiment was flipped to take advantage of the open space to the left of numbers.

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

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

      Cut it Up #300--Happy Birthday

      Creative Knockouts #517--Sparkle and Shine

      Addicted to Stamps and More #464--Any Occasion

Wedding Card with Fusion Card Challenge Sketch

 Once I decided on which Congratulations stamp to use this card came together very quickly thanks to following the Fusion sketch!

There is a lot of sparkle to this card with Gold Foil Card Stock, Black Ore paper and Gold Embossing powder.  An Embossing Pen was used to frame to oval for the addition of more gold embossing powder. The heart patterned paper is from I Heart Us and the sentiment is from "Happy Couple"--both retired from Close to my Heart.

Here is the wonderful Fusion Challenge graphic that inspired my card creation:

I'm also sharing this card with the following challenges:

     Heart 2 Heart--Midas Touch--use something gold

     Make My Monday--Clean and Simple

     Creative Cottage #138--Clean and Simple

     

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
