Deck the Palms Card with Atlantic Hearts Sketch #475

 Welcome back to another Atlantic HeartsSketch Challenge blog post!  This week our sketch features stripes in 2 directions, a focal point and a sentiment.  I used strips from a favorite paper pack called "Deck the Palms".   My focal image is from Fabulous Flamingo stamped onto Flamingo Card Stock and the sentiment is from Rustic Sign Sentiments.  Julep sequins with a drop of White Opal Liquid Pearls are the embellishments.

 

Here is our fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout and for you to try.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, June 12 and you can link up your project here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving some bloggy comment love. Please stop by our blog on Wednesday to see what the rest of the talented Design Team has to inspire you.

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