Seize the Birthday - # 245 Follow a Sketch

What a surprise for me when our challenge Hostess JoAnn picked a topping of Follow a Sketch. This is a comment challenge for many other challenges, but I think the first time for Seize the Birthday. 

Of course, if you are not a toppings kind of crafter, just make sure that it is a Birthday Card. 

I decided to use up some of the many design papers that I have collected. 

Here is what I came up with. It was pretty easy and I got to use up some of the many 

design papers that I have collected.  

Thanks, JoAnn

Paper Players Challenge 546

A new challenge for me.  My friend Nancy Leppek is a guest host t Paper Players.  I find that I have some time on my hands. What do I do with that?  I make a card. It is the sketch challenge for this week. 

I pretty much stuck with the sketch as you can see by my card below. 

GKD Chocolate Brown card base and panels of Coral Reef.

My friend Judy Woodland pointed out that I use gray a lot.  This card is for her. Lol

I used an embossing folder on the panels called Flower Pod by Darice

The Greetery Autumn word die cut three times from gold and the Botanicuts Wheat Die

The circle was a scrap from my box of a background that didn't work out. I am glad that I saved it 

as it works now.
