Fanfare Birthday Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #571

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a horizontal layout with a striped background and sentiment. I went to my paper stash to create my card settling on older Close to my Heart paper called "Fanfare".  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp "Put Your Party Hats On" and the star and banner were from a Dollar Tree sticker pack.

 

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, April 7 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:

     Pearly Sparkles Challenge #94--For a Boy or Man

     Send a Smile for Kids--Cards 4 Boys

 

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

Seize the Birthday #6 and Here Come the Boys #46--Lots of Layers

My card features Fanfare paper (retired CTMH) and cricut cuts from the Art Philosophy cartridge.  The circle was cut at 2" (Circle 1 page 21).  The background mats for the circle were cut from Shape 12 on page 38 at 2.5" in Cranberry CS and Pacifica CS.  The birthday greeting is from Salutation Seals and was stamped in Indian Corn Blue ink.  The presents were colored in with Buttercup and Cranberry markers by CTMH.   I used 3D Foam Tape to raise the cranberry mat layer up from the Pacifica mat layer.  This card came together very quickly using the fabulous sketch from Seize the Birthday #6.

 

Here is the sketch:

   

I am also entering this card into the Here Come the Boys Challenge #46 which uses Lots of Layers.
