Floral Borders Birthday Card for Atlantic Hearts Sketch #422

 Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch challenge blog post!  This week our sketch offers a center panel with sentiment and vertical side strips.  I used an older Close to my Heart stamp set called Floral Borders which I colored with gel pens, a Tonic Happy Birthday Die and some gold holographic poster board scraps to make this lovely card.

A second photo of this card shows off the shimmery gel pen effects better.

Here is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch that inspired my card layout.  Our challenge is open until Sunday evening, October 17.  We hope you can find the time to join in on the fun.  We look forward to visiting your blogs and sharing some bloggy comment love.

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

    Addicted to Stamps and More #416--Make Your Mark

    Pammie's Inky Pinkies 2141--Anything Goes           

    

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!

Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Sparkles Background for Tuesday Morning Sketch #611

Several days ago I had the opportunity to create backgrounds with Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Sparkles Powders, water and cardstock.  (This product is similar to Brushos powders but leaves a shimmer and some texture.) Today I finished a card using one of these panels as a background for a birthday card.  

This next photo was taken from a different angle so you can see how sparkly this card is:

The focal die is an old Tonic die and the scalloped die is retired Close to My Heart.  The solid card stock colors are Sapphire and White Daisy.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #391

 Welcome back to another Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog post!  This week we are featuring a 6 sided label frame, a banner and a couple of embellishments.  

Here's a second view so you can see the holographic nature of the shimmery Dreamy paper:

For this challenge I created a card with Party Time paper, Carolina Card Stock, Sapphire Cardstock, Dreamy Paper, a triangle die from a CTMH quilt set and a Tonic Happy Birthday die.  The flowers were from Michaels--I took the round pearls off them and used Waterfall Stickles to create the sparkly flower centers.  I used a True Blue Shades Marker to outline the banner and a Dots embossing folder for the background panel.

Our challenge is open until Sunday evening October 25 and you can link up here.  We look forward to visiting your blogs.
