Football Championship Congratulations Card with Freshly Made Sketch #265

A young man I know just led his team to a State Championship and thus the inspiration for my personalized card. 

The quarterback is a cricut cut from the Ready, Set, Sports cartridge (available in Access subscription).  The patterned papers are from Fresh Air and Vineyard Berry Victorian paper packs (both retired Close to My Heart).  I used Burnished Bronze Embellishment Mousse to paint in the football.

This is the fabulous Freshly Made Sketch that inspired my card layout:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch #275 With Fresh Air Paper

Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  This is challenge #275 and it features diagonal elements with a rectangular frame over it.  My card started with a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of Fresh Air paper which was cut from corner to corner twice.  I flipped over 2 pieces to create the background design.  The frame was cut from the Cindy Loo cricut cartridge.  The sentiment was stamped in New England Ivy ink from the retired Close to My Heart Casual Expressions stamp set.  Red Berry Nuvo Crystal Drops were applied to the tree.

Here is the Atlantic Hearts Sketch for you to follow this week:

Our challenge will be open until Sunday night August 6 at 9pm EDT.  We hope that you will find the time to play along!
