Too Many Candles Birthday Card with Sunday Stamps Sketch #236

Yesterday I posted a card for Sunday Stamps that had a horizontal orientation and today I'm posting a card with a vertical orientation as in the sketch.

Most of the products I used in this card are retired Close to My Heart products:  Lucky Paper, Too Many Candles stamp set, Uptown Fundamentals paper.  The stamps were gold embossed on Sapphire Card Stock with Princess Gold Embossing Powder  and Versamark Ink.

Here is the fabulous Sunday Stamps Sketch that inspired my card layout:

Hello Lovely Floral Spray for Case This Sketch #315

I love the simplicity of this week's Case This Sketch challenge sketch so I just had to play along.  Although this photo doesn't do it justice the gold embossed flowers and leaves have been painted with the Mint Shimmer Brush and Sugarplum Shimmer Brush.  This card is so much prettier in person!

The Mint Card Stock background was embossed with the CTMH Swiss Dots embossing folder.  The gold stripe is from retired Happy Times paper pack.  The floral spray focal image is from a retired stamp set called "Hello Lovely" which also came with a coordinating Thin Cut Die.  

After I had made this card I realized I needed a wedding card so I added the greeting from the Hello Lovely stamp set on Sugarplum Card Stock.

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

     Tuesday Throwdown--Pastel Colors

     Fab n Funky--Just Add Ink

     Through the Craft Room Door--Anything Goes
