Golf Themed Get Well Card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch #211

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge blog post!  We have another fabulous sketch for you to try this week!

When I first saw the sketch, I thought of using flowers but then I remembered that I wanted to make a get well card for a golf buddy who just broke his ankle and I changed the flowers to golf balls and the flower stems to golf tees.  Thinking "outside the box", wouldn't you agree?

The scalloped circle was cut in Design Space using the Elegant Edges cartridge.  The golf tees were from an image I had uploaded.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #155 Sympathy Card

I made my own flat embellishments by using a 1/4" hole punch and Peacock CS. Crystal Stickles were then applied to them to give them that sparkle! (Oh, how I miss CTMH Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel!)

Case This Sketch #167 in Yellows

This card was inspired by Case This Sketch #167.  I really liked this sketch and made several cards which will be posted separately.

The banner colors from top to bottom are Canary, Honey and Saffron.  The floral accents were stamped in Versamark ink and clear embossed on Canary, Honey and Saffron cardstocks.  A sponge dauber was used to apply Fern ink to give the flowers some definition and then they were fussy cut with microtip scissors.  A dot of White Opal Liquid Pearls was applied to create the flower centers.
