Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #517
Monday, Monday - do you remember the Mamas and Papas song? Seeing that it's Monday, that means that it's time for a new challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. Here's the sketch
Here's my card
For this card, I started with Pink & Main's Special Gift background stamp. I inked it up with Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamped on some white cardstock. I added color by ink blending distress inks (picked raspberry, mustard seed, spiced marmalade, mowed lawn, blueprint sketch, wilted violet) applied with oval ink blending brushes. I trimmed the panel to 2" x 5 1/4". For the sentiment, I stamped on a scrap of white cardstock with Simon Says STAMP's It's Your Birthday stamp set. I trimmed the white cardstock to 2 3/8" x 1 3/8" and I matted with light teal. I found some multi-colored patterned papers that I cut into fish-tail banners. I adhered all the pieces to a dark teal A2 card panel which was then glued to a white A2 card base to complete the card.
We'd love to see how you're inspired by this week's sketch.

Happy Tuesday! It's time for a new challenge at Try Stampin' On Tuesday. Here's our sketch which we hope will inspire you
Optional: Ink Blending
Here's my card
I did a bit of ink blending, our optional theme, with a stencil. I stenciled a white A2 card panel with Altenew's Feeling Dotty stencil and distress inks - spun sugar, shaded lilac, tumbled glass, salvaged patina applied with oval ink blending brushes. For some contrast, I stamped the floral bouquet with STAMPlorations' Blossom Sprays #1 on white cardstock and fussy cut the image out, without adding any color. For the sentiment, I stamped it using Paper Smooches' Noteworthy stamp set on a scrap of blue cardstock, which I cut into a fish-tail banner. I adhered the banner under the fussy cut bouquet and adhered it all to the inked panel. To complete my card, I used double-sided tape to attach the panel to a white A2 card base.
We'd love to see how you're inspired by our sketch.
