Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #439 with Serenity Papers

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch offers diagonal elements with a center focus panel and embellishments.  One of my favorite Close to my Heart papers this year is Serenity so that became my background.

Close to my Heart products used:

     Serenity Paper

     Scalloped Circle Thin Cut Die

     Hillside Cottage Cardmaking stamp (fox)

     Sapphire Ink

     Toffee Card Stock

     Sapphire Card Stock

     Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder

     Versamark Ink

The Get Well die cut is from Creative Expressions.  Here is another photo that shows off the sparkly greeting.  (I inked Sapphire Card Stock with Versamark ink and then used Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder).  I used a 1/8" hole punch to create the sparkly embellishments.

Here is our fabulous sketch to inspire your creativity this week.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, September 26 and you can link up your creation here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love.

Baby Shower Card with Hillside Cottage Duck and Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch

The duck from Hillside Cottage is so adorable I used it for a baby shower card for a soon to arrive baby girl and her mom.  My card layout was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch #386 and also features Flamingo Ink, Scalloped Circle Thin Cut Die, zip strips from Blue Skies, pink shimmer paper by The Paper Cottage and a Quilted embossing folder by We R Memories.

Here is the fabulous Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch that I followed:
