Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #301

This is my last entry in the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge as a member of a design team at AHSC, at least for now.  

I Heart Us paper pack by Close to My Heart in the new catalog. It has such fun colors and is so happy that I couldn't resist creating with it!  The focal point of the circle with a heart and the flowers below it are all from the new cut apart sheets that come in the paper packs. The cut apart sheets replace the Picture My Life cards we used to have!  The give you tons of options for embellishment BUT if you don't want to use them you can use the patterned paper on the back! 


The sentiment is from the versatile Stamp of the Month- Card Captions that is ONLY available for a few more days!  It is gone when January is gone! 

I used the Bluebird ink that is fairly new for the sentiment.

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #297

Close to My Heart just launched a new catalog on January 1!  It is filled with incredible things that you can check out here!  

This card is made with the NEW paper pack called Feels Like Home, which is stunning and perfect for so many occasions like weddings, baby girl, even masculine projects using the greys, wood-like and geometric patterns.

Using this fabulous paper and the new Years of Sweetness stamp set I created this card to use in the current Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #297.    I used Charcoal ink the sentiment and the Artbooking Cartridge to cut the frame for the sentiment.  Close to My Heart included the # to look up the coordinating shape on the stamp set in Design Space so I am not searching through 100's of images looking for it!  This image happens to been pg.87 of the booklet and is #M473B9 in Design space.  It also tells you on the stamp set what size to cut it, 2 1/2 inches to perfectly fit the sentiment inside the frame.

Inside the card I used the celebrate sentiment from Years of Sweetness and then stamped the little flowers from the Stamp of the Month for January called Card Captions and colored them with Lilac ink and a clear shimmer pen to add a little sparkle!  The last bit of sparkle I added to the front of the card is Silver Glitter Gems- it was dark and gloomy the day I took pictures so the photo doesn't do them justice.

We would love for you to join us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge and share your interpretation of the current challenge or future ones!
