Today's Handmade Floral Celebration Card Using Sketch #5 is beyond quick and easy.  One of the quickest ways to get a card done is to use Designer Series Paper as your major layer.  Now I know some of you like to avoid this because you want your paper to last f-o-r-e-v-e-r, but you're a card maker because you want to share your art.  Card makers brighten people's days by sharing their craft.  Right here I give you permission to use up your paper and share it with friends and family.

The Card

Here's the card with all that glorious paper.  This is one of my favorite patterns and I'm so happy to send it during the bright, warm (maybe hot?) summer months.  You can see the first version of this sketch in this post.
