Atlantic Hearts Sketch #463 with a Numbered Birthday Card

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features 3 matted vertical panels with a circular element and horizontal strip with a sentiment. I made this birthday card for my nephew Mathew. My card showcases patterned paper from Sawyer and uses stamps from the retired Party Girl stamp set and Junior Varsity Alphabet.  Harbour Ink, Versamark Ink and Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder were used.  The bubbles were colored in with Shortbread Shimmer Brush and Harbour Shimmer Brush.

 

This second view shows how sparkly the shimmer brushes and embossing powders are.

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, March 13 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.

Masculine Get Well Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #441

 Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog  post!  This week our sketch featuresa split background with central panel and an embellishment.  One of my male friends was recently hospitalized so I wanted to make him a special card using some new Close to my Heart products.

This next photo was taken from a different angle so you can see how sparkly the embossing is.  This effect was created by first inking with Versamark Ink and then Harbour Ink.  Much older CTMH Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder was then heat embossed.

Close to my Heart products used:

     Mix-In Paper

     Mink Card Stock

     Shortbread Card Stock

     Floral Delivery Stamp and Thin Cut Dies

     Rustic Sign Sentiments 

     Versamark Ink

     Harbour Ink

     Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder (retired)

Below is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch that inspired my card layout. We hope you will be inspired by our sketch and find the time to share your creation with us.
