New Home Welcome Card for Color Dare #394 Monochromatic Greens

It has been a long time since I've participated in a Color Dare challenge and I was inspired to join when I saw the Monochromatic Green challenge.  I made this card a few weeks ago for friends who moved into a home with a green door and shutters.

Close to my Heart products used:

      Heart and Home stamp (retired)

      Lagoon Card Stock

      Black Embossing Powder

      Adventure Fundamentals 2017 Patterned Paper

      Clear Shimmer Brush

      Red TriBlend  Marker

      Light Green TriBlend Marker

      Toffee Ink for wreath

(Although this challenge requires no other colors except greens and neutrals, it just made sense to have the accent wreath in a different color than green so I hope my entry is not disqualified for this artistic license).

Here is the Color Dare challenge graphic.  Just click on it to get to the post where you can enter until Thursday, May 28th at 9PM CST.

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

      Make My Monday--Tone on Tone Background

      Not Just Cards--Anything Goes

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

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #368 with a Million Little Things

Welcome to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week we are framing the center and adding a focal image to overlap the frame.  I used "A Million Little Things" stamp set, "Time to Celebrate" stamp of the Month and "Stitched Together Paper to make my card.  I also used Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers (Light Green, Ice Grey and Dark Red) Candy Apple Card stock and Stitched Rectangle Frames.  The bow was cut from Silver Glitter Paper with a retired Gift Set Thin Cut Die.  A little bit of Clear Shimmer Brush outlines the flower petals.

Here is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge that inspired my card layout:
