Ornamental Iron Card with Freshly Made Sketch #683

This week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches intrigued me with it's two color focal image.  Since I had my Cricut out for a different project I decided to look for an interesting design that I could do in mirrored colors.  The card stock colors are Close to my Heart Journey and Capri with Holographic card stock trim.  The Cricut cut is from Ornamental Iron called "Gate Top".

I had leftover pieces so I made a second card. Lagoon CS is the new color.  Which card do you like better?

Here is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:

Slimline Birthday Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #619

Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a striped horizontal layout with a large sentiment banner and an overlapping embellishment.  My cardmaking process began by going through my paper stash and finding diagonally striped paper for my base. The striped paper came from Close to my Heart's Chelsea Gardens.  I used Journey and Glacier card stocks to complete the color coordination.  The sentiment was cut with a CTMH Thin Cut Die called Happy Birthday from Scrapbook.com's Holographic Mirror Paper.  The cute bird accent is from a Crafter's Square (Dollar Tree) Puffy Sticker set.

 

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, March 9 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love.
