365 Cards: #70 Monday Sketch & Birthday Sundae's #8

This week 365 cards is going to use sketches for their challenges. 
Here is Monday's sketch:
I also used the the challenge from Birthday Sundaes to help me decide what to create today.  You needed to use two patterned papers and at least three embellishments.  I chose to stamp and cut out these flowers from JRL designs.  I stamped the background shadow in yellow ink, then over stamp in purple and cut out the flowers.  On one I added a rhinestone (1).  I layered two tag punches from Stampin Up and a birthday sentiment with a lace knot for a bow (2).  I had a little scrap of floral ribbon that I added to the border and attached a purple charm (3&4) to the knot.   For my zig-zag line, I used purple rick rack (5).  The card and stamps are available in my Etsy shop.

                                                 Here is Today's challenge on 365 cards:  http://365cards.blogspot.com/2011/04/day-41-super-sketchy-sunday.html I instantly saw a cupcake when I saw this sketch!  so I remembered in my stash I have a terrific die cut that I bought from a friend on Etsy.  her name is Sandy, and here is a link to her shop:  http://www.etsy.com/shop/sandyssentiments?section_id=6898830  I started looking for other challenges that might inspire the rest of the card and I found another card challenge site called Birthday Sundaes: http://birthdaysundaes.blogspot.com/2011/04/challenge-4-inspiration-picture.html They have an inspiration picture for challenge #4  that shows pink and white stripes with a banner  in the background.  I chose party hats to emulate the banner for a festive embellishment.
