Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #391

 Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week we are featuring a 6 sided label frame, a banner and a couple of embellishments.  

Here's a second view so you can see the holographic nature of the shimmery Dreamy paper:

For this challenge I created a card with Party Time paper, Carolina Card Stock, Sapphire Cardstock, Dreamy Paper, a triangle die from a CTMH quilt set and a Tonic Happy Birthday die.  The flowers were from Michaels--I took the round pearls off them and used Waterfall Stickles to create the sparkly flower centers.  I used a True Blue Shades Marker to outline the banner and a Dots embossing folder for the background panel.

Our challenge is open until Sunday evening October 25 and you can link up here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs.

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