Striped Cards with Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #521

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features a striped background with a centered sentiment strip and embellishments.  My cards today feature "Cools Smooth Card Stock" from Scrapbook.com paper, "Life is Grand" stamp from Stampin' Up and stamp and die cut from Simon Says Stamp set called "Happiest Wishes" and stamps and die cuts from "Life's a Hoot" Cardmaking Workshop from Close to my Heart.  I loved working with these "Cools" paper strips so I made two cards.

Which card do you like better?

 

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, April 23 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love.
