A 3 for 1 !!!!!

I am running out of time this week so I have combined three challenge into 1 card!! I really don't like doing that just because that is 2 less cards to make but since school started I just don't have the time I thought I would have!! (Plus I am starting work on Saturday!! ~ Just on Sat. mornings but I have to be there @ 4am UGH!!)

Anyway I have used the Pretty in Pink from CCT to get my color scheme, the layout of the card is from a sketch by Katharina for PTW and I used some embossing on one of the panels for the Tilda and Co. weekly challenge. (FYI ~ to be entered in for the prize you cannot combine the challenge at Tilda and Co. unless it is a sketch challenge!!)
As soon as I seen the sketch at PTW it looked like, to me anyways, that the panel running horizontal was a flap so I made my card open up there and I put my Happy birthday behind it!!

Paper: MME
Stamps: Magnolia, Hero Arts
Inks: distressed inks, Archival jet black, glitter pen (of course)
Accessories: Ribbon ~ Micheals, Flower ~ Prima, buttons ~ stash. Wish ~ cuttlebug


Well thanks for stopping by!! I am glad I got most of my mowing done! It is 90 here and feels so muggy!! I think it is the hottest day of the summer!! And go figure the kids are in school!!!

Have a great night:)
