Milestone Birthday with Freshly Made Sketch #483

 My sister's mother-in-law turns 90 on Thursday so I made her a one of a kind card in bright, cheery colors (Tropical Blue, Green Apple, Flamingo) following the Freshly Made Sketch #483.

The stamp sets used are "Wordfetti," "Friendship Alphabet" and "Some Kind of Wonderful".  The background panel was spritzed with Turquoise Gloss Spray and the numbers were gold embossed.

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

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

Butterflies For You with Tuesday Morning Sketch #525

When I saw this fascinating sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches I thought of an underused retired Close to My Heart paper pack called Some Kind of Wonderful with its huge circles and bright colors.  I paired it with a current CTMH stamp set called Butterflies for You from the Every Little Thing Cardmaking Kit and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers.  The background color and sentiment color is Raspberry.
