Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge #597

We had a new challenge at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge yesterday. I was travelling and forgot to post yesterday. Here is the new sketch


Here is my card


My card was inspired by the patterned paper from Carta Bella 6x6 Paper Pad Flora No. 5. I used Gina K Design's Art Stencil Floral and distress inks - dusty concord, festive berries and peeled paint applied with oval ink blending brushes. I used a Pink & Main Layered Circle die to die cut the circle. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Keep It Simple: Thank You Stamp Set, stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink. I found some solid color cardstock in my stash that matched the colors and cut them to size. I adhered all the pieces to a white A2 card base to complete my card.

We'd love to see how you're inspired by our sketch in our gallery.

Try A Sketch On Tuesday ~ Challenge #656

We have a new sketch at Try A Sketch On Tuesday which we hope will inspire you to create with us.


Here's my card


For my card, I started with the Memory Box Darling Poppies die and some pretty floral patterned paper from a 6x6 pad. I also picked a tone-on-tone patterned paper from the same pack, which I cut to A2 size for my background. I die cut the poppies with a medium gray cardstock and the floral paper. I used the medium gray as the outline and inlaid the floral paper die cut pieces and glued them in place on the background paper. I cut strips from the same floral paper of varying widths and arranged them on the right. I cut strips of a light violet cardstock to place between the floral paper strips. I glued those in place. For the butterflies, I used a Hero Arts stamp and die set I received as part of Crop & Create Delivered - March 2023. I stamped the butterflies with Concord & 9's Dove ink and colored them in with a Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker, labelled bright yellow. I die cut the butterflies and glued them in place. For the sentiment, I used Clearly Besotted's A Little Sentimental stamp set and the same Concord & 9's Dove ink. To complete my card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base.
