Masculine Birthday Card with Freshly Made Sketch #634

When I saw this interesting sketch at Freshly Made Sketches I knew I had to find time to play along.  I pulled out a favorite Recollections paper pack called "Ink Splatter" and an older Close to my Heart stamp set called "Sunny Thoughts" (February 2018 Stamp of the Month).  The sentiment was embossed with Cobalt Tapestry Embossing Powder (Personal Stamp Exchange).  Thin slivers of Silver Foil paper framed the sentiment while Midnight Blue Nuvo Crystal Drops added some more shimmer to the card.  Here is my card:

This is the fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout:

Birthday Fishes Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #500

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  Can you believe we have offered 500 different sketches?  Many thanks to Michelle Stewart and Brandi Robinson who started this challenge blog so many years ago!

This week our sketch features a matted slim line card with 3 torn edged sections and 3-4 embellishments.  I started with the background paper from a Recollections pad called "Ink Splatters" as it reminded me of water.  The fishy items came from a retired Close to My Heart stamp of the month (April 2020) called "O-fish-ally Awesome".  Liquid Glass was applied to some of the bubbles for a dimensional effect and Spectrum Noir Metallic Markers were used to color the fish and crab hat.

 Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, November 27 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.
