Farewell Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #553

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a horizontal layout with a central focal element with layers and embellishments from the side.  My card was made for good friends who are moving away.  I created the greeting on my computer and printed it on to card stock. The patterned paper is from Hawthorn paper pack (retired Close to my Heart) with a light grey layer under it and then over Gold Metallic Card Stock.  

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, December 3 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love. Please stop by our blog on Wednesday to see what the rest of the talented Design Team has to inspire you.

I’m also entering this card into the following challenges:

      Creative Knockouts #508--Lots of Layers

      Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday November--Anything Goes

      Creative Fingers #266--Anything Goes

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

Large Birthday Sentiment with Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #633

 These two cards came together very quickly following Try Stampin' on Tuesday Sketch #633!  The sparkly papers are from Noble Peacock DSP (retired Stampin' Up) and the big sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Best Year Yet".  The first card was embossed with "Cobalt Tapestry" from Personal Stamp Exchange--can you see the tiny flecks of gold in it?  The second card was stamped with Versamark, then "Uptown" ink by Catherine Pooler and then sprinkled with Polysparkle Clear Tinsel Embossing Powder (retired from Close to my Heart.)

Which card do you like better?

Memory Lane Birthday Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #551

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a vertical layout with a trio of squares and a sentiment strip.  My card features stickers and paper from a special promotion from Close to my Heart called "Memory Lane".  In order to reduce bulk I used a blue marker to edge each of the squares.  A Clear Shimmer Brush was used to embellish the stickers. 

 Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, November 19 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love. Please stop by our blog on Wednesday to see what the rest of the talented Design Team has to inspire you.
