Three Challenges One Card!

 I'm combining 3 challenges for a birthday card. They are Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, Color Dare Color Challenge and a new one for me AAA Birthday Card Challenges.

Here are the sketches from each of the blogs:

Here is my spin on the combined challenges:

I originally had the strips on white but it just left me flat, so I added a black background to give the colors some punch. The open hearts were some I cut awhile ago and were sitting in a dish on my work table. I love having die cuts ready to go! I decided to emboss the Happy Birthday in Gold Tinsel embossing powder. It's always fun to emboss. I have all my embossing tools, versamark and powders in a clear shoebox ready to grab and go. That makes it so easy! The papers came from the Jan-Feb Mix-ins along with black and Candy Apple cardstock. I did pull an old embossing folder to add hearts to the Candy Apple cardstock. I keep all my embossing folders in a 6 x 8 album so it is easy to flip through and find what I'm looking for. The strips were cut in 3/4" x 5" and spaced about 1/4" apart. Any colors or coordinating patterns could be used for this sketch along with whatever sentiment you need for the occasion. 

Supplies:
