Happy Birthday

This card was created for the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #142.  Even before I saw the challenge my thought was to use the CTMH Charlotte PaperPak because it had such a variety of design papers and colors I like.  Since the sketch shows a lot of open space I chose to use the pastel floral paper to quietly fill that space.  Mulled over what I would use for the image...well I finally came to the realization why not the obvious, a flower to go with the background paper, and a few embellishments to dress it up a little...this is what I ended up with.   

Be sure to hop on over to the AHSC blog and check out the many inspirations from the Design Team from this week and previous week's challenges...and there's still time for you to link up before Sunday with your inspiration of this sketch.   

A couple close-up photos to show the detail of the cuts, layering and the embellishments.
