True Love Birthday Cards with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #531

 Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a vertical layout with a split panel.  The top half has a diagonal striped element, a plain bottom element with a sentiment strip in the middle with both a large sentiment and a small sentiment..  There is a vertical embellishment on the right side of the card.  Using the colors from the True Love (retired Close to my Heart) paper pack I selected coordinating colors (Mint, Ballerina, Eggplant, New England Ivy) and made two cards.  The sentiment is from "Finding the Words" (retired Close to my Heart).

Which card do you like better? 

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, July 2 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love.
