Hole in One Congrats Card with Sunday Stamps Sketch #230

A friend of mine just made a hole in one so I made her a celebratory card with the current Sunday Stamps Sketch #230.

The background paper is from an unknown source.  The sentiments were stamped with Gold Embossing Powder with Close to my Heart's May Stamp of the Month called Time to Celebrate.  The dark green paper strips are CTMH Evergreen Card Stock.   Gold Glitter Gems adorn the side strip.  The "Hole in One" sentiment is from an old CTMH stamp set called "Tee Time" and was stamped in Evergreen Ink,

Here is the fabulous Sunday Stamps Sketch that inspired my card layout:

Personallized Birthday Card with Fusion Sketch

My nephew (who happens to enjoy golf) just celebrated his birthday and thus warranted this special card:

The Happy Birthday greeting is from Party Balloons, name letters are from Junior Varsity Alphabet and the golf ball is from Tee Time--all retired Close to My Heart stamp sets.  The inks are Evergreen and Sapphire.  The background paper had no identifying marks on it other than "Golf".

Here is the wonderful sketch that inspired my card layout::
