MTTC challenge no 463 sketch layout usage starts 6 August 2021

Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity blog! My artsy-crafty heart is thrilled to be using OLD stash items for this sketch-based layout card! My Time To Craft challenge blog has a sketch design to use for your card-making for #463. I've rotated the design to the left 90 degrees in order to make it a vertical layout. I didn't extend the one section to the full height of the card but this is an extra long card using a full sheet of cardstock folded (fold on left; opening on right). That CS base is the soft green. Because of the sentiment of "Happy Day" I feel I can either use it as an encouragement card or as a birthday one. [rut ro! It's going to be the birthday card I send to my auntie for her #74 next week!!]

Required sketch design for your project layout; I've rotated the sketch to the left and then lengthened the size of the card. I also tweaked a few things in my interpretation like the shown darker purple area doesn't go the full length on my card, the shapes aren't circles, and the sentiment/accent tab section is shortened and shaped like a journal or divider tab. 

 *****************************************

A few design notes:

1. the acrylic floral image 'stickers' are from Hallmark; these are part of a sheet that could be as old as 10 years sold by Hallmark

2. the green patterned paper is a scrap section off a very old stash item; so glad to make a small dent in this older stuff

3. the cardstocks are from Pen+ Gear; light green, soft ivory, and soft yellow; the purple paper is to back the card only for blocking out my printer's scanner light

4. the sketch design doesn't show corner accents but I felt that with oversizing the proportion that the right side of the card needed something to help balance it. This still could be considered a CAS (clean and simple) style card because there is so much blank space.
