Hello Cards with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #593

Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a striped background panel with a smaller vellum overlay with 2 tags and a sentiment strip.  I went through my paper stash and found this pretty striped paper from Close to my Heart called "Little Dreamer".  Then I pulled out coordinating cardstocks to come up with several cards. The bows were created with a Scrapbook.com die from the "Bow Toppers" collection.

This card uses the reverse side of the striped paper:

My card features a PML card from the Little Dreamers paper pack that uses Thistle, Glacier and White Daisy. The corners were rounded and placed above Juniper cardstock, Canary cardstock and then Black cardstock. the three accents are from the Black and White Glossy Accents.
