Wildflower Birthday Card with Try a Sketch on Tuesday #705

The sketch at Try a Sketch on Tuesday appealed to me so I made a birthday card using one of my favorite older colors by Close to my Heart called Wildflower.  I liked the 5 panel strips with an embellishment on the top so I went through my bag of unused embellishments and found these iridescent butterfly sequins also from Close to my Heart.  The accent dots are from Close to my Heart "Documented" accents. The patterned paper is from a Craft Smith paper pad called "Sweet Magic".  The birthday sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp called "Birthday Blitz".

These are the paper cutting dimensions I used:

    A2 top fold card

    Layer 1--Wildflower Card Stock 5.25" x 4"

    Layer 2--White Background 5" x 2.5"

    Strips--7/8" x 2 3/8"

    Sentiment Strip 5.25" x 1 1/8"

Here is the fabulous Try a Sketch on Tuesday sketch that inspired my card layout:

Get Well Card with Sunday Stamps Layered Up Challenge #388 and AAA Colourful Board #29

This gold trimmed Get Well card was made for a friend with a serious health issue using pretty ombre patterned paper called "Sweet Magic" from CraftSmith, a Michaels brand. The background cardstock is True Teal, a very old Close to my Heart paper.  (I'm so glad pretty paper doesn't expire!)  The sentiment is an old wooden stamp designed by Hampton Art Studio G.   The gold cardstock trim is from a sheet of gold poster board purchased at Dollar Tree.
