Thinking of You Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #601

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a vertical layout with a torn edged layer, an offset focal circle with a large embellishment and sentiment strip.  The background color is from Close to my Heart called Wildberry.  The sentiment was white embossed on Wild Berry Card Stock and is from CTMH "Say it in Style."  The "Rose Wing Butterfly" die is from Simon Says Stamp cut in Hunky Dory paper called Mirri paper.

 

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, November 3 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.

Color Dare #480 Meets CAS Colours and Sketches #454

 It has been quite awhile since I've entered a Color Dare challenge and today is the day to return.  Their challenge is a Triple Play using Close to My Heart Colors Wisteria, Wild Berry and Capri.  I've combined it with the sketch from CAS Coulours and Sketches #454. I enjoyed playing with the colors so I made 2 cards. The outer edges of the sentiment frames were colored with a Capri Shimmer Brush or a Wild Berry Shimmer Brush.  The Stitched Rectangle  Frame Thin Cut Dies created the borders of both cards.  The sentiment is from a retired Close to my Heart set called "True Love".

Which one do you like better?

Here is the Color Dare graphic that inspired my color choices:

Alcohol Inked Card with Freshly Made Sketch #501

Several weeks ago I played with Alcohol Inks and Yupo Paper and pulled out one of these pretty panels to use it with this week's Freshly Made Sketch #501.  I also tried out Alcohol Lift Off Ink with Cherished Blossoms stamp set (retired CTMH) and outlined the image with a thin Cricut Pen.  The greeting is from SU's Vertical Greetings.  The ink is Grape and the colored card stock is Close to my Heart's Color of the Year--Wild Berry.

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