Atlantic Hearts Sketch #249 with Chelsea Gardens

We have another wonderful sketch to share with you at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog!  The Chelsea Gardens Thin Cuts and Stamps were used to create the side leaf and butterfly array with the background Chelsea Gardens paper.  The sparkly green paper is from Core'dinations and the birthday greeting is from the retired Fairytale Birthday stamp set.  The yellow butterfly paper was from Adventure Paper Fundamentals from several years ago.

Here is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch to inspire your creativity!  We can't wait to see what you can create and share with us.  You have until Sunday evening, February 4 at 9PM ET to enter our challenge.

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

     Die Cut Divas--Use Something New (leaf and                      butterfly dies)
     Cuttlebug Mania--Birthday project
     Through the Craft Room Door--Anything Goes

     Worldwide Open Design Team Challenge--                       Anything Goes
