Wish Big Card (May Class Project)

I'd love to give credit to the talented woman who gave me this idea -- I received her card in a swap at the Regional Conference in Phoenix earlier this year.  Unfortunately, she didn't put her name on the back of the card, so I can't tell you who it was!  I changed her card slightly by using darker, more intense colors, a different embossing folder for the background, and a different sentiment.
