Atlantic Hearts Sketch #312 Easter Card

I was in a creative mode last week and made several Easter cards (and actually mailed them!)  This card was inspired by Atlantic Hearts Sketch #312.  

The cardstock colors are Glacier, Sugarplum and Pansy.  The Sugarplum stamped butterflies are from the Close to my Heart April Stamp of the Month called Love So Sweet.  The argyle center strip is from the Zoe paper pack.  The Pansy Ink stamped sentiment is from a very old wooden "super set" name unknown.

This is the April Stamp of the Month set available for just $5 with a $50 purchase here.

I chose soft colors (white, pale bluish green from lower butterfly and pale purple from the tulips) from the Crafting by Designs inspiration photo:

Here is the Atlantic Hearts Sketch photo--the challenge stays open until April 21:

I'm also entering this card into the following challenge:

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

Inspired by Sketch Saturday #559

Last week's Sketch Saturday sketch was so easy to use I made several Easter cards with it using various Close to My Heart patterned papers.  The sentiment stamp is an old CTMH wood stamp and the butterfly is from the April Stamp of the Month called Love So Sweet stamped in Sugarplum Ink.
