Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #412 with Eat, Play, Love Paper

 Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week we have a horizontally divided sketch with a large central focal element to spark your creativity.  I used my favorite Thank You Thin Cut die with Gold Metallic paper and Candy Apple Card Stock and a couple of Heart dies in Glacier turned sideways to resemble the bow on the sketch.  The Eat, Play, Love paper is from Close to my Heart.

Here is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch that inspired my card layout.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening March 21 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving comment love when you play along.

I saved the "negative" pieces of the top gold layer of my card to make another card using Serenity paper.

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

      Heart 2 Heart--Midas Touch--use Gold

      Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge--Anything Goes                     with patterned paper
