New Grandparents Congratulations Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #529

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a horizontal layout with a left side circular element, sentiment and several embellishments.  Friends just became grandparents for the first time so I made them this card using Close to my Heart stamps Nursery Days and New Grandbaby, Quilted Embossing Folder, Heavenly Blue Gingham Paper, Crystal Blue Card Stock and Antique Gold Shimmer Paper.

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, June 18 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:

      A Place to Start--Anything Goes

       Crafting Happiness #143--Anything Goes

       Gem of a Challenge--Anything Goes

       Creative Fingers--Anything Goes

       

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

The Artfully Sent cartridge made this card so easy to do!  I love how you can cut the inside to be a pop-up card--don't you?
