Monochromatic Hello Card for Freshly Made Sketch #432

Freshly Made Sketches provide wonderful opportunities for creativity and I'm glad I found the time this week to play along.  I used very old Close to My Heart B & T paper in Ocean and a current sentiment stamp from Say it in Style.  The focal circle is Foil Acetate from Cricut which I've had in my stash for several years.  The greeting was stamped in Versamark and Ocean Ink and embossed with Polysparkle Tinsel Embossing Powder (all retired CTMH).

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

Featuring Butterfly Circle With Sketch Saturday #498

Several months ago I purchased the Crafters' Companion Butterfly Circle Stamp and Metal Die set from after seeing it on an HSN special.  I'm so happy that I finally got a chance to create something with it!  My card is 5" wide by 6.5" tall and uses retired "Ocean" Close to My Heart papers and shimmery Caribbean Mist Twinkling H2O paint. The center stamp and birthday stamp are retired Close to My Heart.

Here is the fabulous Sketch Saturday graphic that inspired my card layout:
