Everything is Rosy for Freshly Made Sketch #500

 Congratulations to the Freshly Made Design Team for reaching a milestone number of wonderful sketches!  I pulled out some older SU papers and diecuts  to create this lovely card:

In this second photo you can see how sparkly the Rose Gold paper and frame are along with the Stickles Star Dust flower centers.

The coordinating card stocks are Flamingo and Sapphire from Close to My Heart along with the greeting from For All Occasions which will be available September 1. The Stitched Rectangle Frame Thin Cut Die was used for the outer border of the card.

Here is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:

Pregnancy Congratulations Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #422

 Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week's sketch has a couple of rectangular elements, sentiment and embellishment.  There are so many ways to interpret this and we are looking forward to what you can share with us here.

My card was made for a young couple who is expecting their first child who will be female thus the color choice.  I used older Close to my Heart products as I have a lot of these products on hand.   The heart patterned paper is from Adventure Fundamentals in 2017 with Ballerina card stock as the background panel.  The embellishment was created with Stitched Heart Thin Cut Dies cut from Sapphire card stock.  The greeting is from "It's the Little Things" stamped in Sapphire Ink and Versamark Ink and embossed with Polysparkle Tinsel embossing powders.  Stitched Rectangle Frames were used to cut the center panel.

Here is the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge graphic that inspired my card layout.  Our chard challenge is open until Sunday evening May 30 and you can link up your creation here.  We look forward to visiting your blog and leaving some bloggy love comments.
