You Are Amazing Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #599

Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a framed vertical layout with a matted center sentiment circle with embellishments behind it.  My card was made with my friend Susan in mind who did an awesome job of organizing a "Think Pink" event in my community.  The diecut sentiment is from Close to my Heart "You Go Girl" and was embossed with Mulberry Star embossing powder by sparklensprinkle.com. The background panel was ink smooshed with pastel colors and then dry embossed with a "Quilted" embossing folder from We R Memory Makers. The stamped embellishments behind the center panel was made by a very old (30+ years old--wood) D.O.T.S. stamp called Midnight Stars in Sapphire Ink.

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, November 28 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.

Twofer Card Challenge#2--Hearts

There is a new card challenge out there!  Twofer Card Challenge requires participants to create two cards with the same stamp or die but with two different designs and for different occasions.  It sounded like fun so I created two cards to meet the challenge.  This fortnight the word prompt is "Hearts".  Here are my cards:

The die cut hearts were cut from Basic Shapes in Design Space.  The first card background was created with the new "Mermaid Lagoon" Distress Oxide Ink with a little bit of "Shaded Lilac" on the background panel.   The stamp is from the "Stronger Together" stamp set from Close to My Heart and was embossed with "Mulberry Star" embossing powder from Sparkle and Sprinkle.  The fuschia glitter paper is from Jot.

The card layout was inspired by the sketch at Just Add Ink #396:

My second card uses three Bazzill Regal Red hearts, Sapphire card stock, Happy Valentine's stamp, embossed Silver Delicata ink and Silver Shimmer Trim.

I'm also linking these cards up to the following challenges:

       Make My Monday--Messy Backgrounds

      Addicted to Stamps--Have a Heart 

      Crafting from the Heart--Anything Goes

      Use Your Stuff--Twinkle Twinkle (add sparkle)

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