Atlantic Hearts Sketch #235

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  This birthday card is for a dear friend of mine who loves birds.  I chose to use the Bloom cricut cartridge (part of Access subscription) and Creative Cards cartridge to create this card.  If you would like to replicate my card you can use my Design Space file here.

 

The colors from background to foreground are from Close to My Heart:  Pomegranate, New England Ivy, Colonial White and Goldrush for the flower centers which was brushed with the Gold Shimmer Brush.  The sentiment is from a retired stamp set called "Just a Number" stamped in Pomegranate ink.  The birdcage was cut from a metallic take out container lid because I didn't have any silver metallic cardstock.  

Are you ready to see what you can do with this sketch?  You have until Sunday evening, October 29 to share your creation with us 

here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs.  Be sure to check at the AHSC blog on Wednesday to see all the fabulous Design Team creations.

 

I'm also sharing this card with the following challenges:

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

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #296--Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Welcome back to another Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog post!  This fortnight we are inviting you to share your St. Patrick's Day Cricut projects with us.  We are being sponsored by Dreaming Tree.

The flourish label is from the Creative Cards cartridge and the paper color is Saffron from the Enchantment Fundamentals paper. The sentiment was drawn with the Flower Market font and a Cricut black pen.  It was later filled in with a Topiary Marker (retired Close to My Heart).  The patterned paper is from Topiary B & T Paper (retired Close to My Heart).  The multilayered shamrocks are from the Flower Market cartridge.  The shamrocks and Saffron circles beneath them were painted with the CTMH Gold Shimmer Brush.

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

     The Paper Players--Theme--Cut it out 

     Crafting by Design--Anything Goes Spring Edition

     Addicted to Stamps and More--Anything Goes
