Toadally Awesome Meets Paradise Palms Dies with Freshly Made Sketch #562

I had some time today to pull out some stamps and dies that I hadn't used yet.  The (Stampin' Up) Paradise Palm tree and grass and sentiment from (Close to My Heart) Toadally Awesome make the 2 horizontal and 1 vertical element as in the Freshly Made Sketch #562.  Spectrum Noir Tri Blend Markers (Light Green Blend, Jade Green Shades and Magenta Blend) Shimmer Brushes (Raspberry, Short Bread and Black) and Nuvo Honey Gold Glitter Drops were used to color the elements.

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

Something Fierce Birthday Card with Case This Sketch #400

Something Fierce is a Close to My Heart paper pack that retired a few years ago.  I thought it would be a perfect choice for a 2 year old's birthday card using this week's Case This Sketch layout (which I rotated):

Raspberry card stock, Bluebird card stock, Raspberry Shimmer Trim and Bluebird Shimmer Trim were added as accent elements.

Here is the fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout:
