And here is the card I created:
This sketch made me think of a gatefold card, so that is what I created. It makes it a little hard to photograph as it just wants to pop open instead of lying flat. I added a few enamel dots in colors that match the gumballs for a fun accent.For a little extra fun, I adhered the gumball machine to the right side of the card and the sentiment to the left side.
I also stamped the gumball machine inside in a light gray (after stamping off one time), but haven't added a sentiment, yet. It might be for a 50th birthday and I thought it would be fun to put the "50" inside the glass ball.

Fabulous card, like the bright cheery colors and great idea to stamp the gumball machine inside to add your sentiment later!
What a fun gate-fold card! I love the way the striped background paper compliments the colors of your gumballs!
Love your gatefold card - and the way it opens with the image on the right and the sentiment on the left - great idea. Love how you followed through with the gumball machine inside the card as well.
Great gatefold card - and you have done a beautiful job coloring the gumballs!
