Get Well Cards with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #559

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a vertical layout with 3 stripes beneath the rectangular panel in the center.  My cards were inspired by wanting to use a new confetti paper I found in clearance at Hobby Lobby.  I wasn't sure if I liked the navy blue trim or turquoise trim so I made 2 cards.  The pink layer is pink acetate which I also picked up on clearance years ago.  The stamped elements were from a retired Close to my Heart stamp and thin cut die set called "Under the Weather".

Here are closeup photos.  Which card do you like better?

Get Well Slider Card for Heart 2 Heart I like to Move it, Move it Challenge

 One of my friends had a motorcycle accident so I made him a "speedy recovery" card with  a horse image that moves from left to right.  It was so easy to do with Close to my Heart's new Thin Cut Slider Dies.  The paper is retired Chalk it Up and the sentiment is from "Get Well Soon" stamped in Capri Ink and matted with Capri Card Stock.  The horse was cut from Kraft paper with Design Space and my Cricut machine.  Gold Shimmer Trim created the flag under the sentiment.

Pixie Sparkled Blooms for The Paper Players Challenge #583

Several weeks ago I created several card panels with Pixie Sparkle Powders and am starting to put them together into cards.  The challenge at The Paper Players inspired my stamp choice. The flowers started as a piece of photo paper sprinkled with Sunburst Pixie Sparkle Powder and sprayed with water.  When the piece air dried I stamped the bouquet from a retired Close to my Heart stamp set called "Cherish Her" with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and Clear Embossing Powder. (The sister greeting is also from that set.) I then used a green brush marker to color the leaves and stems.  The gingham paper is very old Crystal Blue B & T paper from Close to my Heart.  The bold Happy Birthday is from "Sweetest Birthday Wishes" stamped in Capri Ink.

Here is the sketch graphic from The Paper Players that inspired my card layout:
