Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #209 Meets Cut it Up #120 Music Challenge

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week's sketch is pretty unique and an idea didn't come to me until I saw the Music theme at Cut it Up this week.  My images were cut with the help of the Cricut Explore, Design Space and the Cindy Loo and Quarter Note cricut cartridges.

The sentiment "Music is the strongest form of MAGIC" was written with a silver metallic cricut pen. The violin was chosen as my son plays it masterfully.

Products used:
     Silver metallic paper by the Paper Cut
     Brown metallic paper by the Paper Cut
     La Vie En Rose paper--retired Close to My Heart
     Stoneware Texture stamp--retired CTMH
     White Daisy CS--CTMH
     Ruby CS--CTMH
     Whisper Ink--CTMH
     Cindy Loo cricut cartridge--floral frame panel
     Quarter Note cricut cartridge--violin, music notes

Here is the fabulous sketch that inspired my card:

We hope you find the time to create using this special sketch this week.  You can link it up here.
