Just a Note Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #618

Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a horizontal layout with several stripes, an embellishment, a sentiment and a trio of small embellishments.  The sentiment from my card came from an old Close to my Heart stamp set called "Card Captions".  The striped patterned paper is from CTMH "Lovely" and background mat and ink is Julep.  The hearts were punched from Julep Glitter paper and the butterfly with leaves image is from a roll of Birds PET Washi Tape.

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, March 2 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.

Julep Glitter Birthday Card With Sunday Stamps Sketch #26

This fortnight's sketch at Sunday Stamps really appealed to me and I was glad to find the time to create this glittery birthday card.

I've had this Julep Glitter Paper in my stash for almost a year as it was the CTMH color of the year.  The plaid paper is Timber and the fancy diecut is from Stitched Together Cardmaking and Thin Cut Dies.  "Birthday" was stamped with Julep Ink.  The background paper is Colonial White (retired CTMH).

I rotated the sketch 90 degrees so that the Happy die cut would fit in the sketch.  Here is the fabulous Sunday Stamps sketch:

30th Birthday Card in Greens

A special young lady will turn 30 soon and I used the opportunity to create a card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #351. Her favorite color is green and this inspired my paper choices.

The greeting is actually quite sparkly.  First I inked the stamp in Versamark Ink and then Evergreen Ink.  Then I used a very old Close to My Heart Embossing Powder called "Polysparkle Tinsel" to create the sparkled image as you can see in this second picture.

Close to My Heart products used:

      Evergreen CS

      Green Apple CS

      Julep CS

      Julep Glitter Paper

      Mix-In Zip Strip

      Birthday Greetings

      Party Balloons with Thin Cut Dies (retired)

      Evergreen Ink

      Cricut Design Space to cut numbers

This was a really fun sketch to work with.  Here is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch that inspired my card layout:
