New Baby Boy Congratulations Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #483

Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a focal image over 3 banners over a square element with a sentiment at a diagonal angle with a ribbon bow.  My card was made to welcome a baby boy so I used a blue onesie from Close to my Heart's Nursery Days stamped in Bluebird Ink.  The Congrats sentiment is from Sweet Baby.  The papers are from a very old set from "Zoophabet 2 by Cathy Heck".

Vellum Window Card with Freshly Made Sketch #543

 When I saw this week's Freshly Made Sketch with the flourish element extending from the bottom I thought of using an old Tonic die set called "Swirling Vine". At first I was just going to cut off the flourish and have that coming out of the bottom of my focal image and then decided to use the whole piece and create a window to cover the dragonfly.  Here's my card:
