Sympathy Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch # 610

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a horizontal layout with layered strips and a central focal panel with sentiment and embellishment.  Recently I purchased a new paper pack at Michael's for just $5 so I just had to use some of it.  The colors don't really appeal to me but I do like how many of the papers have gold foil elements.  I layered vellum over the center panel and gold embossed the sentiment from Close to my Heart's "Card Captions" stamp set.  The embellishment is was punched from a SU dragonfly punch.  The promotional paper is from Craftsmith called "Eucalyptus Leaves".

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, January 5 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.

Penguin Birthday Card with Freshly Made Sketch #665

One of my male friends was visiting Antarctica recently and sent me lots of photos of penguins which inspired my card. The penguin stamp is from Close to my Heart (CTMH)"Winter Friends" and the sentiment is from CTMH "Dragonfly Wishes".  The paper strips are from CTMH "Gnomes for Winter," Recollections "Holographic Dreams" and CTMH Outdoor Denim cardstock.  I turned the sketch on its side so I could fit in the sentiment and penguin. 

Here is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:
