Happy New Year Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #507

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features layered rectangles, a circular focal element, two flags with a sentiment and 3 small embellishments.  My card features green sparkled embossing powdered pair of champagne glasses from Howdy Neighbor stamp set, Happy New Year sentiments from For All Occasions stamp set, Glacier Card Stock, Peacock Card Stock Silver Foil Card Stock and a Metallic Silver Pen.  The layers were cut from Stitched Rectangle Frame Dies and the 3 embellishments were made with a 1/8" hole punch.

Here is a second photo that shows off the sparkle and shine of this card better:

Howdy Neighbors Congrats Card with Stella Says Sketch #905

 One of my best friends just got a new job so it was a perfect opportunity to create a fun card for her.  Her favorite color is pink so I used Flamingo ink with Flamingo Card Stock with Black accents.  The pink plaid paper came from Blue Skies paper pack. The stamps came from Howdy Neighbors stamp set.  The bold "congrats" sentiment was embossed by inking in Versamark and Black ink before applying Clear Embossing Powder.

This is the fabulous Stella Says Sketch #905 that inspired my card layout:
