Hi Stampers, Today I am sharing a card from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set.  It was fun to get out a stamp set that has not seen any ink for awhile and  it fit perfectly with our sketch challenge too.  I am trying to use all the new colors with my cards because they are so yummy.  Today I used Granny Apple Green and Lovely Lipstick.

Here is the sketch:

I turned my sketch vertical.  It is amazing how that changes the look.   I love those little tweaks that make each card unique
