Two Gator Cards with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #614

Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a horizontal layout with 2 vertical stripes on the left, a round focal point with sentiment on the right and embellishments behind the focal frame.  My cards started with a Stampin Up "Jungle Pals" stamped image which was colored with "Fake Plant Lunar Paste".  The background paper is Close to my Heart Julep.  The embellishments from the Birthday Card were fussy cut from Close to my Heart "Deck the Palms" paper and the sentiment is from a Kokarosa stamp set called "Happy Cartoon Frogs".

 

My second card also features "Deck the Palms" paper as the vertical stripes, gold Sizzix leaf dies, and a sentiment from Close to my Heart "Stronger Together" which was gold embossed over Evergreen Card Stock.

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, February 2 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love.

Shamrocks Card with Sunday Stamps Sketch #278

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I'm feeling blessed and happy to share my third card with the same great image from Cricut Image Set "Celebrate with Flourish".  (The other two can be found here and here.)  This time I used the fabulous sketch from Sunday Stamps.  The background paper is Mint, the shamrocks are Clover and the sparkly shamrock backgrounds are Gold Holographic Poster Board.

I made a second card substituting Deck the Palms paper for the Mint Cardstock and changing the Lumen (Simon Says Stamp) embossing folder to a Flourish embossing folder (Cuttlebug).  Which one do you like better?

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

I'm also entering this card into Color Dare Challenge #487 "Shades of Green".

This card also fits in to the Double Trouble challenge to "Bring on the Green" and Heart 2 Heart "Wearing of the Green" challenges.
