Sympathy Cards with Arched Element following Atlantic Hearts Sketch #635

Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post! (I'm late in posting this as I've been traveling and entertaining this week--I actually thought this challenge started tomorrow and I was a day early in writing this post.) This week our sketch features a vertical layout with a right side arched element, a floral element over it and a lower left hand side sentiment.  Since I created an arch with 2 different colors I was able to make 2 separate cards with the same them.  The floral element is from Simon Says Stamp "Black Eyed Susans".  The paper is from Close to my Heart March April 2024 Mix in Paper. 

Card #2:

I needed one more sympathy card so I eliminated the arch and straightened out the image.

Father's Day Card with Sunday Stamps Sketch #362

The sketch at Sunday Stamps #362 this week appealed to me so I made a Father's Day Card while following the sketch.  The blue and green plaid paper is from Close to my Heart called "Celebrate Today" and the sentiment is from a very old CTMH wood stamp set with several sentiments. I used the scalloped square punch to highlight the sentiment. The background mat is Clover card stock.

Here is the fabulous Sunday Stamps sketch that inspired my card layout:
