Atlantic Hearts Sketch #155 Sympathy Card

I'm a Guest Designer this week on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog! As a past Design Team member I was invited back to share something from a sketch of my choice.  Thank you to the lovely ladies of AHSC--I have always enjoyed your marvelous sketches!

I made my own flat embellishments by using a 1/4" hole punch and Peacock CS. Crystal Stickles were then applied to them to give them that sparkle! (Oh, how I miss CTMH Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel!)

Close to My Heart products used:

     White Daisy CS

     Glacier CS

     Peacock CS

     Keep Your Chin Up stamp

     Sincere Expressions stamp

     Laughing Lola Cardmaking ink blot stamp (retired)

     Glacier ink

     Peacock Ink

Other products:

     Crystal Stickles--on some leaves

     Wink of Stella White--on some leaves

Here is the fabulous Atlantic Hearts Sketch that inspired me:

I hope you can find some time this week to create something using this wonderful sketch and share it with the Atlantic Hearts challenge blog.

If you are looking for a good color challenge I also invite you to check out the current Color My Heart Color Dare challenge to use colors from the Regatta paper pack.

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