Mostly Monochromatic Make a Wish

Here's my card for the current Fusion challenge.  I paired the sketch with elements from the inspiration photo (hand theme, gray color tones) to create this simple birthday card.

My images are from the Essentials by Ellen Handful stamp set.  I stamped them at the bottom of a white cardstock panel, then used Copic markers to color in the arm/hand image.  It doesn't show in the photo, but I used a glitter brush pen to add a light coating of clear glitter over the dandelion image.  I matted the panel on a piece of silver cardstock, then adhered it to a gray card base.  To bring in a little interest, I cut an angled panel for the top of the card from striped gray cardstock using a stitched border die.  The shape of the die required a little creative cutting, but I think it worked out okay and ended up cutting the slanted sides pretty evenly. After backing the angled panel with foam tape, I adhered it to the top of the card to finish the design.
