Atlantic Hearts Sketch #403 With Every Little Thing Cardmaking Stamps

 Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch has some vertical panels, a main focal image and several accents.  To stay more true to the sketch I trimmed back part of the frame stamped image from Every Little Thing Cardmaking set (currently on clearance here). Paper colors are Blue Belle (sprayed with gold metallic shimmer paint) and Sapphire.  The images were embossed with Versamark and Sapphire Ink and then sprinkled with Holographic Embossing Powder by Ranger. The flowers were colored with Avocado Shimmer Brush and Hydrangea Tri-Blend Marker.  The dark blue enamel dots are from Seas the Day.

Here is our fabulous sketch.  Our challenge remains open until Sunday evening, January 17 and you can link up your creation here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some "comment love".

I used Every Little Thing Cardmaking stamps to create the following cards more loosely based on the above sketch.

Atlantic Hearts #371 Meets Color Dare #96 Mix-In Palette

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week we have a wonderful sketch to stimulate your creativity.  I chose to use 3 of the colors (Charcoal, Sweet Leaf and Peacock) from the Color Dare challenge board to create my cards.

The sentiment is from Every Little Thing Cardmaking stamp set and the leaf is from Every Little Thing Vellum Diecuts.  (To color the back side of the leaves I smooshed some Peacock ink onto an acrylic block, spritzed it with water and painted it with a waterbrush).

Here's a slightly different card using the same sentiment with slightly different papers.

Which card do you like better?

Our challenge is open until Sunday evening June 7 and you can link up your card here.  We would love to see what you can create this week.  This is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch that inspired my card layout:

This is the color graphic from the Color My Heart Color Dare challenge this fortnight:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge # 367

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week we have lots of layers to challenge your card making.  Here is our current sketch for you to try:

I'm still using up scraps left over from my wedding Thank You cards and made an Anniversary card:

The silver patterned papers are from an old Martha Stewart collection.  The solid blue card stock is Sapphire from Close to my Heart.  The sparkly hearts and dots were created by placing the Sapphire card stock in Versamark Ink and then embossing with Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder (retired CTMH).  The greeting is from Close to my Heart's Every Little Thing Cardmaking set.

We hope you can join us by sharing your artwork with us here.  Our challenge will end Sunday evening March 10.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
     Corrosive Challenge #5-Anything Goes
     Crafter's Castle--Anything Goes
