The Sketch Challenge was pretty challenging to me to get all those squares to fit & trim off the angle at the bottom. At least it wasn't a tilted sketch...generally, I have a real problem handling those, lol.
For my 4 squares, I die cut 4 squares, left the die in place, stamped the smiley sun faces, used a reverse mask & sponged the yellow & oranges onto the suns. I used yellow & orange Copics to carefully color in the rays & edges of the squares, then attached them to ODBD lacey squares die cut out of turquoise. The white layer was die cut w/ a curved border. I used a lacy curved border to cut another edge along w/ a matching on in turquoise then attached them under the original cut edge. On the marigold layer, I partially embossed the Sunburst bg die then attached it all to a turquoise layer. The greeting was added on top of where the circle area is in the Sunburst bg.
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Your card is perfection in so many ways - the copic coloring, the super sunny cheerful images, the way you matted the squares on those lacy square dies, the way you embossed the bottom portion in matching theme. The slanted bottom is so clever and just makes so much stylistic sense in your card design. Incredible matting, dimension and texture. I could go on and on!
