I think this card is a perfect summer card...so full of color and warmth. I was just in the summer mood because it is actually sunny today. It seems like we have had a lot of rain this summer. That's probably because this is the summer my husband and I have been doing all our vacationing. Oh well, as long as we get some sunny days here and there. 
This one is for a few challenges today. The layout of the card comes from Card Patterns, sketch #74. I played around with this sketch for a while before I came up with something I liked for it, and I really like how this one turned out. I used summer colors to work with For Fun Challenges this week. I also went with Cuttlebug Challenges and used their "CHA CHA CHA Challenge," which was to use something inspired by music, dance or energy. All the paper came from the DCWV Flower Power stack. I used the Hannah Montana cartridge for the butterfly/guitar cu
t and the music notes. The "congrats" is from Beyond Birthdays. I also used my Cuttlebug to emboss the flowers on the bottom. I wasn't sure how it would look when I started that part, but I like the texture it lends to look at the bottom of the card. I did some doodling on the letters and guitar to finish it off. The inside sentiment says, "your accomplishment was music to my ears." It is pretty generic, but I didn't have anyone specific in mind when I made it. Enjoy!
