Medicare Birthday Card with Tuesday Morning Sketch #673

 It's a milestone birthday for my brother-in-law which inspired my card.  I took out my Cricut machine to create the sentiment and ovals.  The background paper is retired from Close to My Heart called "Dreamin".  The gold shine is holographic gold poster board and the silver shine is Silver Glitter Paper.  The font is Rialto.

Here is the fabulous sketch I followed from Tuesday Morning Sketches:
