Bee Better Soon for Atlantic Hearts Challenge

Happy July! I have a summery get well card today using Atlantic Hearts Challenge Sketch #636.  These photos really don't do the brown hex justice.  It is a lovely paper with tons of gold sparkles inside.  I tried to highlight the gold by layering gold fibers between the curry dotted ribbon.  

Here is the sketch.

You can see some of the sparkle from this angle.

This angle really shines!

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Honey Bee stamp and die set
